New results for our scientists
December was a busy month for our scientists.
After the publication of his latest work on Sciences Advances, Giuseppe Testa – Head of the Center for Neurogenomics – flew to the United States. Here he attended the Cold Spring Harbor Lab meeting on “the Development & 3D Modeling of the Human Brain” – the most important event on cerebral organs – and presented the research that will carry out in Human Technopole in this field.
The latest work led by Francesco Iorio – Group Leader of the Centre for Computational Biology – has been published in Nature Communications. The study demonstrates the consistency between large functional genomics datasets generated at the Wellcome Sanger Institute and the Broad Institute with CRISPR-Cas9 technology, paves the way for their possible integration and lays the basis for the creation of a map of all genetic dependencies of cancer.

First Marie Curie Fellowships for Human Technopole
Two Human Technopole researchers have been awarded the Marie Curie postdoctoral fellowship, one of the most prestigious fellowships for early career researchers: Dr. Carlos Jiménez and Dr. Albert Navarro Gallinad. Dr. Navarro Gallinad’s research project, presented today on National Women’s Health Day, will investigate the environmental risks faced by pregnant women by analysing almost 1,000,000 births in Lombardy over the last twelve years. Dr. Jiménez will study how the spatial arrangement of nuclear proteins contributes to optimal cell functioning.
