Research and Design Converge in Milan
Milan also means research, and this year Human Technopole is taking part in the city’s promotional campaign for the Milan Design Week, which will take place from 15 to 21 April 2024.
The campaign “Milano Home of Design” is a narrative of the city composed of 5 photographic shots: collective portraits with scenes of everyday life unfolding naturally in symbolic settings of Milan, involving 45 researchers, designers, architects, chefs, art curators, and students. Among them, our Fernanda Pinheiro, Group Leader of Computational Biology, participated in the venue “This is where I improvise” at the Gio Ponti’s “Trifoglio” building.
The goal of the campaign, created by the photographer Valerio Nico, is to make the visitors of the Milan Design Week feel at home, welcomed by a city that presents itself with a collective identity composed by those who research, live, work, create, study, and administer. Design, indeed, is a powerful way of storytelling and promoting Milan as a destination not only for travel but also for a conference, a study or work experience, or the start of a business.

Colorectal Cancer: ML Enhances Cetuximab Response Predictions
An international collaborative study led by Human Technopole, Candiolo Cancer Institute IRCCS in Turin, the University of Turin, and the Wellcome Sanger Institute in Cambridge (UK) has identified new factors associated with therapeutic response in colorectal cancer. The research has led to the development of a machine-learning model capable of accurately predicting the effects of cetuximab, a drug in clinical use, on different colorectal tumour subtypes. Funded by the AIRC Foundation, the study paves the way to identifying molecular features that could serve as biomarkers for predicting treatment response in patients with this type of cancer.
