The latest news from HT scientists
5 December – New, important results from the scientists at Human Technopole.
Together with other researchers, Giuseppe Testa – head of the Neurogenomics Centre – discovered the “architect gene” of the face of modern man and provided experimental evidence of how today’s men are born from the same process of domestication of animals. The paper – published in Sciences Advances – is available at: http://bit.ly/38aN16L
In recent days, Human Technopole’s scientific activity has reached Russia. At the Regenerative Medicine meeting, Nereo Kalebic – Group Leader, Neurogenomics Centre – presented his latest findings on human brain development and neurogenesis.
New also from the Centre of Computational Biology. Francesco Iorio – Group Leader, Centre for Computational Biology – has joined the scientific advisory board of the AZ-CRUK Functional Genomics Centre: an initiative for functional genomics that aims to develop new cancer therapies through genetic screening, cancer modalling and big data processing.

Childhood Cancer: Free DNA in Blood Reveals Therapy Resistance
An international study coordinated by Milan’s Human Technopole, the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) in London, and the Royal Marsden Hospital in London has shown that certain DNA fragments found in the blood of paediatric cancer patients can be used as “biomarkers” to obtain information on the characteristics of the disease and its ability to resist therapies. Analysing these fragments could represent an effective alternative to tumour tissue biopsy, a practice that is particularly difficult in children.
