The second edition of our Integrated Report
The second edition of our Integrated Report covering the year 2021, is now online.
The Report is an important tool through which Human Technopole communicates its commitment to social responsibility, based on transparent, accurate and complete information. Our hope is that this can help promote trust towards the work carried out by Human Technopole and the goals we have achieved.
At Human Technopole we highly value the collaboration with our external stakeholders and we aim to develop a centre of excellence for life sciences in Italy, establishing a relationship with the community on the basis of the values and principles of innovation and cultural openness.

Mosaic Organoids to Study the Brains of Multiple Patients Simultaneously
An international team of scientists from Human Technopole and the University of Milan has developed and validated an innovative approach to studying human brain development across multiple individuals simultaneously using single organoids—laboratory models that replicate key cellular processes of human neurodevelopment. The research paves the way for in vitro population studies. Additionally, the scientists have developed a novel computational method to more accurately quantify the genetic identity of individual cells profiled from multiple individuals concurrently. The findings have been published in Nature Methods.

Cancer stem cell morphology predicts glioblastoma growth and resistance
Human Technopole researchers have identified adducin-γ (ADD3) as a crucial regulator of glioblastoma cancer stem cell morphology and intercellular bridges between tumour cells. These connections facilitate communication and allow tumour cells to share resources, evade chemotherapy, and survive in challenging conditions. The study has been funded by AIRC and the findings are published in Life Science Alliance.

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.
