The Mayor of Milan, Beppe Sala, visited the Milan Innovation District, giving his speech to the citizens from Palazzo Italia, our headquarters. The Mayor recalled the experience of Expo 2015, but above all the future of the area which will include, in addition to Human Technopole, the new Galeazzi Hospital, the campus of the scientific faculties of the State University of Milan, Triulza Foundation and an area dedicated to private development for start-ups engaged in innovation.
Lorenzo Calviello and his group of the Human Technopole’s Research Centres for Genomics and Computational Biology have been awarded a five-year My First AIRC Grant by Fondazione AIRC per la Ricerca sul Cancro. The grant provides over €99,000 for 2026, for a total of €500,000, to support a project aimed at identifying cancer-specific proteins that could serve as new immunotherapy targets in colorectal cancer.
Human Technopole researchers have identified the molecular mechanisms by which the membrane receptor sortilin binds thyroglobulin along its pathway to the release of thyroid hormones within the thyroid gland. The results of the research were published in Nature Communications and highlight that sortilin senses thyroglobulin via a short flexible “tag” which appears to be a common motif for the recognition of other partner proteins throughout our body.
The AI4Life project, co-led by Florian Jug (Computational Biology Research Centre at Human Technopole) and Anna Kreshuk (EMBL), received the highest possible score in the European Commission’s final review, recognising its scientific impact and the quality of its achievements in applying artificial intelligence to biological image analysis.
The Giustacchini Group of the Genomics Research Centre of Human Technopole has been awarded a €1.66 million grant from the Fondo Italiano per la Scienza (FIS 2) to advance precision immunotherapy for haematological malignancies. The three-year project, titled “Tailoring Precision Immunotherapy to Haematological Malignancies”, aims to develop more effective cell-based therapies for blood cancers by integrating molecular, cellular and systems-level analyses.
Turning scientific discoveries into real-world therapies was the focus of the second international conference “Future Trends in Translational Medicine – From Molecules to Therapies,” held at the Complesso Universitario di San Giovanni a Teduccio in Naples on 30 -31 October 2025.
