There are many ways to do something, at least as many as there are cultures. In Italy we have our way: we believe that improving people’s health is an art which need continuous research, passion and attention to details.
We know that research is made of small details and that innovation is a dress to wear everyday: this is how we are building Life Science in Italy, at the heart of the MIND – Milano Innovation District, with Human Technopole.
For the Fifth Edition of the Italian Research Day in the World, celebrated on April 15th, we created a joint video with the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to promote the excellence of the Italian life science sector. In addition, Human Technopole researchers will participate in events and initiatives organised by the Italian diplomatic network, including an event organised by ARIA, The Italian Consulate in Adelaide and SAHMRI at Adelaide on May 9.
Human Technopole is looking for enthusiastic postdoctoral researchers interested in applying for Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowships 2022. Projects should focus on one of the areas of the five HT’s Research Centres: Computational Biology, Structural Biology, Genomics, Neurogenomics and Health Data Science. The objective of PFs is to support researchers’ careers and foster excellence in […]
Thyroglobulin is the protein precursor of thyroid hormones, key regulators of vertebrate development and metabolism. On the occasion of World Thyroid Day, Laura Tosatto and Francesca Coscia discuss how post-translational modifications (PTM) of thyroglobulin can regulate thyroid gland function in health and disease. They also highlight the importance of combining structural biology, proteomics, and genomics […]
The leadership of the Institute of Science and Technology Austria-ISTA is visiting Human Technopole for a day of talks and seminars. Thanks to the use of organoids, Human Technopole’s Centre for Neurogenomics and ISTA have already collaborated on a study on autism spectrum disorder caused by mutations in the CHD8 gene, recently published in the […]
A new study in Nature Communications by Nicola Pirastu and colleagues identifies new loci involved in individual food choice in a large-scale genome-wide association study and deepens our understanding of the genetics behind food liking. French politician Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin gained fame for his passion for food and the aphorism “Tell me what you eat: […]
