Human Technopole

👐 The Human Technopole's National Facilities are now open to the national scientific community! External users affiliated with universities, IRCCS, and public research entities can access our state-of-the-art technological hubs for free through open calls 👉 https://lnkd.in/d49j-WUX 🔬 HT National Facilities offer open access to cutting-edge technologies in the fields of genomics, genome engineering and disease modelling, imaging, structural biology, and data handling and analysis. 👩🔬 👨🔬 Our mission is to support the scientific community by providing access to advanced technologies and expertise, training programmes, and technology/method development projects, with the ultimate goal of increasing the impact of Italian research on an international level. 🔎 Access is granted based on the principles of scientific excellence, with the aim of supporting high-quality research. Watch the video to discover the access modalities and timelines.

👨👩👧👦 Over 30 million people in Europe and 300 million worldwide live with a rare disease. Despite their great overall number, rare disease patients are the orphans of health systems, often denied diagnosis and treatment. 🔬 At Human Technopole, we believe in the power of research to drive change. Through a multi-scale systems biology approach, state-of-the-art facilities and cutting-edge experimental and computational research, we aim to deepen our understanding of these conditions and contribute to future personalised medicine. ✨ On this World #RareDiseaseDay, we stand with researchers, healthcare professionals, patients, and families who face these challenges every day. Because rare diseases are not so rare — and together, we are making a difference.

😊 We are delighted to have welcomed students to our labs for the Social Innovation Campus at MIND Milano Innovation District! From flow cytometry to algae cultivation, they had the opportunity to explore how HT researchers are driving innovation in human health and advancing personalized medicine.   👨🔬 Thank you to our researchers Silvia Bombelli, Pietro Demela, Mariacristina De Luca, PhD, Cecilia Reyneri, Altea Gjurgjaj, Valentina Cecatiello, Giovanni Maltinti, Laura Esposito, Gonzalo Alvarez Viar.   👉 With Fondazione Triulza and Arexpo s.p.a.

🧑🔬 "Il bello di HT é che non fa solo ricerca al suo interno, ma la mette a disposizione. Siamo una struttura di innovazione aperta." 📹 Il nostro presidente Gianmario Verona e i nostri ricercatori Fabio Marcuccio e Lorenza Culotta spiegano il progetto di Human Technopole per la ricerca di base nelle scienze della vita e lo sviluppo di terapie e medicina personalizzata, nella puntata di XXI Secolo Rai con Igor De Biasio, amministratore delegato di Arexpo s.p.a., dedicata a MIND Milano Innovation District.

👩🔬 Congratulations to our Alice Giustacchini, Research Group Leader in Population & Medical Genomics! Funded by an AIRC - Foundation for Cancer Research NGO Start-Up Grant, her project on CAR-T cell therapy for paediatric Acute Myeloid Leukaemia aims to develop personalised immunotherapy to tackle treatment resistance and relapse. 🔬 "By looking at one cell at a time and one patient at a time, we aim to develop personalised treatments that are precisely tailored to each patient’s unique disease, with the potential of making a real difference for them and their family."

🚨 77% of people don’t know what encephalitis is, yet it affects 1.5M people yearly. 🔬 Our Oliver Harschnitz group (Neurogenomics) with Nicola Palazzi, Stefania Giussani and Veronica La Rocca, studies the molecular mechanisms of viral and autoimmune encephalitis using advanced technologies like human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), aiming to improve diagnosis and treatment. #WorldEncephalitisDay

👕♻️ We are proud to join #milluminodimeno, the National Week for Energy Conservation and Sustainable Lifestyles by Caterpillar Rai Radio 2, with a Clothing Swap Party open to the entire MIND Milano Innovation District! 🌍💚 At HT, we are deeply committed to sustainability and continuously strive to integrate it into our daily operations. We believe that even the smallest actions can have a significant positive impact on the environment. 🔄👗 Fashion is one of the most resource-intensive industries, consuming vast amounts of water, energy, and raw materials. By swapping clothes instead of buying new ones, we can help reduce the environmental impact of fast fashion, promote sustainable fashion, and minimise landfill waste. 🙌 Thank you to all participants!

With the MSCA-funded "TinyTrend" project, our Albert Navarro Gallinad (PhD), health data scientist in the Luisa Zuccolo group, will study the environmental factors contributing to premature births to help shape future prevention policies.   Check out his first blog post about his journey!

📌 The Social Innovation Campus returns to MIND Milano Innovation District on 26 and 27 February! 💫 Italy’s first Campus on social innovation aims to engage young people in discussions, experimentation, and cross-contamination to co-design a sustainable future, inspired by the UN’s 2030 Agenda, through impact technologies and dialogue between different sectors. The 2025 theme is “Talents 4 social innovation: competenze nella complessità.” 📢 Our Giuseppe Testa, Head of Neurogenomics, will take part in the opening event on 26 February at 9:30 AM, discussing "Nuovi sguardi per l’innovazione sociale - Dialogo sulla complessitá."
