In the context of the Festival delle Scienze, Prof. Iain Mattaj, Director of HT and Prof. Nicole Soranzo, Head of the Genomics Research Centre – Population & Medical Genomics Programme, share an update on Human Technopole’s research activity and upcoming plans to collaborate with the national community on the creation of population cohorts to support genomics research. During their talk they will discuss why we need genomics research to inform medicine and why it’s important to understand a population’s genetic structure.
The event took place on Thursday 25 November at 5.45 pm.
(Lausanne, Basel, Zurich, Bellinzona – 14/16 June 2022) From 14 to 16 June 2022, CITT took part in the study tour “SWITZERLAND, CRADLE OF INNOVATION”, organised by the Swiss Embassy in Italy to present the excellence of the Swiss Confederation’s innovation system.

Understanding the origin of human brain evolution and the underlying molecular mechanisms is made challenging by the complexity of the brain itself and ethical barriers to the use of human samples. The Kalebic team discusses how human forebrain organoids can be exploited to study human brain evolution and neurodevelopmental pathologies. Human brain evolution has been […]
Three-dimensional (3D) organisation of the eukaryotic nuclear genome has a crucial role in gene regulation. Magda Bienko and Nicola Crosetto overview emerging and established techniques used to investigate the spatial arrangement of the genome in the nucleus and how it affects gene function in single cells and tissues. Tight packing into chromatin fibers and their […]
