This week Human Technopole reaches an important milestone: our first 100 employees have been recruited! In a little over a year we have grown from a staff of less than 30 people to 100, and counting. Our numbers continue to increase with new colleagues joining us every week from all over the world.
Our employees reflect our organisation’s values of diversity and internationality. Among research personnel almost 70% of those joining HT are relocating to Italy from abroad and our overall staff counts 12 different nationalities. Ten out of 26 managerial positions in both administrative and scientific areas are in the hands of women which make up 44% of our workforce.
If you are a passionate person who likes to seize great challenges, consider applying for one of our vacancies to help us build Human Technopole. All employees are selected through transparent and meritocratic selection processes to identify the best candidate for each position. All open positions are regularly published on our Careers page.
In a large international collaboration, Human Technopole has contributed to the development of three complementary risk prediction models that estimate heart failure risk across the entire cardiovascular disease spectrum. Together, these tools enable transparent, data-driven risk assessment and support personalised treatment strategies and more sustainable healthcare delivery.
The Social Innovation Campus 2026 was a great success, bringing thousands of students to MIND to discuss social innovation, sustainability and the future of work. From 25 to 27 February, young people engaged with organisations, institutions and companies to explore how innovation can generate social impact. Human Technopole contributed to this collective effort through different voices and perspectives.

Lorenzo Calviello and his group of the Human Technopole’s Research Centres for Genomics and Computational Biology have been awarded a five-year My First AIRC Grant by Fondazione AIRC per la Ricerca sul Cancro. The grant provides over €99,000 for 2026, for a total of €500,000, to support a project aimed at identifying cancer-specific proteins that could serve as new immunotherapy targets in colorectal cancer.
Human Technopole researchers have identified the molecular mechanisms by which the membrane receptor sortilin binds thyroglobulin along its pathway to the release of thyroid hormones within the thyroid gland. The results of the research were published in Nature Communications and highlight that sortilin senses thyroglobulin via a short flexible “tag” which appears to be a common motif for the recognition of other partner proteins throughout our body.
