The winners of the first call of the Early Career Fellowship Programme promoted by Human Technopole have been selected: five young researchers, three women and two men, all Italian nationals coming from abroad (US, Austria, Germany and Switzerland). Each will be funded with a 200.000 euro/year grant to develop innovative projects in the life sciences. The initiative, which foresees an overall investment […]

Fernanda Pinheiro is fascinated with the emergence of simplicity in systems with multiple interacting parts. How do simple laws emerge from what seems overwhelmingly complex at the microscopic scale? How do interactions shape observables in nature? These questions are at the core of her research interests, from quantum mechanics to the intersection of systems biology, ecology, and […]

Brain contains billions of specialised cells called neurons that are key to the functioning of the nervous system. Development and evolution of the brain have been linked to the growth and size of its outer layer – the neocortex – which controls consciousness, emotion, and reasoning, as well as language and memory. In mammals, the […]

Human Technopole aims to develop a centre of excellence for life sciences in Italy, establishing a relationship with the external community on the basis of the values and principles of innovation and cultural openness. In line with this role, Human Technopole has decided to publish, on a voluntary basis, it’s first Integrated Report referring to the […]

Ribosomes are complex molecular machines that produce proteins, the key building blocks of all cells. They consist of a small and a large subunit that mature separately and subsequently come together to form a functional ribosome. Ribosome biogenesis is complex: it starts with the synthesis of small- and large-subunit precursors in the nucleolus – a defined sub compartment of the cell nucleus. Nucleoli are very peculiar organelles that […]
