Internationality, diversity and collaboration are among the core values on which we have been building Human Technopole. Since our first days of activity, we have been fully committed to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for all, fostering diversity and equal opportunities for employment.
We are proud to introduce our Gender Equality Plan (GEP) which, through a set of actions and measures, formalises our commitment to gender equality. The plan responds to the guidelines of the European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE) aimed at identifying and implementing innovative strategies to promote cultural change and equal opportunities in Universities and Research Centres.
Our Gender Equality Plan is based on HT’s context and needs and has been drafted based on an analysis carried out through a participative process among our staff with the aim of promoting equal opportunities and fairness across all genders within the HT community.
A coordinating team, covering different HT functions, is nominated by HT Director and supports the implementation of the Plan. You can find further information on the latest Gender Equality Plan here.
The Glastonbury Group is among the recipients of the Data Insights Cycle 3 awards. The aim of the grant is to develop a machine learning model that identifies disease-relevant cell subpopulations whilst predicting a phenotype/disease of interest from large-scale single-cell RNA-seq data.
In collaboration with an international team of scientists, HT researchers identified a missense mutation in a gene involved in brain-intrinsic immunity as the genetic cause of SARS-CoV-2 brainstem encephalitis.
A study by Human Technopole, the Institute of Cancer Research and the Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust in London has shown that in prostate cancer the presence in the same tumour of cells with large differences in shape and genetic composition indicates an increased risk of relapse, including after a decade. The study may help doctors better tailor treatment for this disease, adopting more aggressive therapies in cases where these parameters indicate a higher risk of disease recurrence.
Human Technopole is opening its National Facilities, providing advanced equipment and technologies accessible through calls for proposals open to the Italian scientific community. Projects will be selected by a commission of international experts. Scientists will have access to five new dedicated facilities, which act as catalysts for open innovation in the life sciences sector, crucial for research and the health of Italians.
An international team of scientists led by HT researchers Magda Bienko and Nicola Crosetto developed an open-source software for deconvolution of widefield fluorescence microscopy image stacks and large tissue scans. This new tool increases the information obtained with fluorescence microscopy-based spatial omic methods.
