PhD Opportunity in Data Science for Medicine
Human Technopole is looking for a curious, driven, and collaborative PhD candidate to join the Research group lead by Fernanda Pinheiro as part of the EU-funded ENDAMR (Exploring Novel Drivers of Antimicrobial Resistance), a Marie Skłodowska Curie Actions (MSCA) Doctoral Network. This PhD project will develop mechanistic models grounded on microbial physiology to understand how interactions among mutually dependent bacteria influence antibiotic tolerance, community-level perturbations and evolutionary trajectories toward antimicrobial resistance.
We’re seeking someone with a background in bioinformatics, data science, computer science, or applied mathematics who is excited about applying computational tools to advance biomedical research.
- Location: Milan, Italy
- Duration: 3 years, fully funded (Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions)
- Deadline: 23 May 2025

How colorectal cancer escapes from the immune system early on
An international study co-led by scientists from Human Technopole reveals that colorectal tumours use both genetic and epigenetic strategies to evade immune detection almost immediately after they transform into cancerous. The results, published in Nature Genetics, challenge previous notions that immune evasion occurs gradually over time.

Human Technopole awarded grant to create 3D models of rare brain cancer
Human Technopole researchers Nereo Kalebic and Blagoje Soskic have been awarded $1,319,010 by the Gilbert Family Foundation (GFF) through the Next-Generation NF1 Models Initiative. Their funded project “Assembloid Platform to Model Cellular Interactions Driving NF1 Glioma Pathology” focuses on developing the first 3D cell culture model of Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), a genetic cancer predisposition syndrome that affects the central and peripheral nervous systems and increases the risk of high-grade gliomas.

The role of adducins in the development of the cerebral cortex
Human Technopole researchers show that adducin proteins regulate morphology, proliferation, and fate of neural progenitor cells, sustaining the expansion of the mammalian neocortex. The findings, which offer fresh insights into the molecular logic behind neurogenesis, are published in Cell Reports.
