The Call 4 Ideas of the MIND Education program, the project that involves young people and students in the co-creation of the City of the Future, kicks off.
Conceived and promoted by Arexpo and Lendlease together with Human Technopole, IRCCS Galeazzi, Fondazione Triulza, Federated Innovation area Life Sciences & Health Care – with leading companies in the sector such as Accenture, AstraZeneca, Be Whiz, Bio4Dreams, Bracco, Life Science District, Nippon Gases cooperate Italy, Novartis, Stevanato Group, Synlab – the Call 4 Ideas invites recent graduates (who obtained their degree in the year 2021 and 2022), students and doctoral students of Italian universities to develop ideas and project on two fundamental themes of the innovation district:
1. MEANWHILE SOLUTIONS @MIND: the aim is using the “waiting time” – the period between the approval of the Masterplan and its realization – as a tool to mend social tissues and as a strategic resource to design a more sustainable and inclusive future that promotes citizen participation and well-being.
2. Health Data Science: by using digital technologies and Big Data, finding solutions that improve the health and well-being of citizens through the adoption of behaviors and lifestyles that prevent diseases, help their early diagnosis and the sharing of information (data) by the population.
A jury made up of professionals and researchers from the promoters will select the 3 best ideas for each Call that will be awarded with the following prizes:
1st prize € 5,000
2nd prize € 3,000
3rd prize € 2,000
In addition, the winners will have the opportunity to present their project at the final event of MIND education in June 2022.
A research project focussing on rare diseases by Prof. Silvia Nicolis, in the Department of Biotechnology and Biosciences at the University of Milan Bicocca, in collaboration with Veronica Krenn, young researcher among the five winners of the first edition of HT’s Early Career Fellowship (ECF) Programme, has been awarded 240,000 euros grant from Alleanza Fondazione […]
Human Technopole is looking for enthusiastic postdoctoral researchers interested in applying for Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowships 2022. Projects should focus on one of the areas of the five HT’s Research Centres: Computational Biology, Structural Biology, Genomics, Neurogenomics and Health Data Science. The objective of PFs is to support researchers’ careers and foster excellence in […]
Thyroglobulin is the protein precursor of thyroid hormones, key regulators of vertebrate development and metabolism. On the occasion of World Thyroid Day, Laura Tosatto and Francesca Coscia discuss how post-translational modifications (PTM) of thyroglobulin can regulate thyroid gland function in health and disease. They also highlight the importance of combining structural biology, proteomics, and genomics […]
The leadership of the Institute of Science and Technology Austria-ISTA is visiting Human Technopole for a day of talks and seminars. Thanks to the use of organoids, Human Technopole’s Centre for Neurogenomics and ISTA have already collaborated on a study on autism spectrum disorder caused by mutations in the CHD8 gene, recently published in the […]
A new study in Nature Communications by Nicola Pirastu and colleagues identifies new loci involved in individual food choice in a large-scale genome-wide association study and deepens our understanding of the genetics behind food liking. French politician Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin gained fame for his passion for food and the aphorism “Tell me what you eat: […]
