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.

CRISPRcleanR WebApp makes your life easier with CRISPR-Cas9 screens
A web-based application developed by the Iorio Group and the IT & digitalisation team at Human Technopole helps non-computational scientists process and analyse CRISPR-Cas9 screens by reducing false-positive hits. CRISPR/Cas9 technology has become the gold standard for genome and epigenome editing, for studying the regulation of gene expression, and for high-throughput screenings aiming at identifying […]

How APOE4 affects human brain in Alzheimer’s disease
Apolipoprotein E (APOE) is a small protein encoded by the APOE gene regulating lipid homeostasis in mammals. The e4 variant of the APOE gene (APOE4) is associated with an increased risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in mammals. A Nature study co-authored by Jose Davila-Velderrain reveals cell-type specific effects of APOE4 on cholesterol metabolism and […]
Measuring chromatin compaction with FRET-FISH
DNA intercalating dyes and massively sequencing techniques are traditionally used to study nuclear chromatin compaction. These tools, however, do not allow for direct measurement of chromatin compaction of individual loci. Nicola Crosetto and Magda Bienko combine fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) with DNA fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to assess the level of chromatin compaction […]
