A new study by Francesco Iorio – Group Leader, Research Centre for Computational Biology – published in Molecular Systems Biology has created the most comprehensive analysis for understanding how cancer drugs work at a molecular level by combining drug response data with CRISPR genetic screens across hundreds of cancer cell lines. The research identified the […]

In these days we have finalised the agreement with the University of Naples Federico II that will allow the implementation of many synergies. In particular, the agreement allows for the exchange of research staff at all levels and the development of collaborative projects in areas of common interest. Moreover, the involvement in training activities and the […]

On Futuro24 by Rainews, our Director Iain Mattaj told about the progress of the Human Technopole project and its future developments and underlined the multidisciplinary approach that will characterise our research. The Director also talked about plans for technology transfer, collaboration with the public and private sectors and the importance of adapting research activities to […]

A work on Human Condensin by Prof. Alessandro Vannini, Head Research Centre for Structural Biology is on the cover of the July’s issue of Molecular Cell.  Paper available here: https://www.cell.com/molecular-cell/fulltext/S1097-2765(20)30268-9 

The paper “Identification of intrinsic drug resistance and its biomarkers in high-throughput pharmacogenomic and CRISPR screens” by Francesco Iorio – Group Leader, Centre for Computational Biology has been published on “Patterns” by Cell Press. It shows that rare drug resistance biomarkers can be identified in large public pharmacogenomics datasets through a new computational approach. The article […]
