The mechanisms of life are complex. What happens at the molecular level shapes cells, tissues, organs and entire organisms. To understand human biology, and what drives disease, we need to connect these different scales rather than study them in isolation. That is our approach at Human Technopole.

“Building the future of human health, together”: Human Technopole’s new claim was the central theme of the event held this morning at the Senate of the Republic. The conference “Human Technopole Foundation: a model of open research and innovation in the life sciences” provided an opportunity to present the third biennial Report to Parliament for 2024–2025, marking the Foundation’s definitive tran…
Using structural, biochemical and computational approaches, Human Technopole researchers have uncovered how the chaperone LRPAP1 binds to Megalin and regulates its interaction with thyroglobulin and potentially other ligands. The findings are published in Communications Biology. The post Regulation of a Giant Cellular Receptor appeared first on Human Technopole .
Human Technopole researchers have identified the molecular programmes that drive human B cell differentiation after activation, shedding new light on how the immune system balances rapid defence with long-term protection. The findings are published in Molecular Systems Biology. The post To Be Naive or to Remember: That Is the B Cell Question appeared first on Human Technopole .
In a large international collaboration, Human Technopole has contributed to the development of three complementary risk prediction models that estimate heart failure risk across the entire cardiovascular disease spectrum. Together, these tools enable transparent, data-driven risk assessment and support personalised treatment strategies and more sustainable healthcare delivery. The post Predicting…
Human Technopole has been awarded a €1.35 million Consolidator Grant from the Fondo Italiano per la Scienza (FIS3) to investigate how cells control the stability of messenger RNAs. The funding will support the POLARIS project, led by the Legnini Group, which aims to uncover the molecular principles governing the synthesis and regulation of poly(A) tails, a key feature that determines how long mRN…
The Social Innovation Campus 2026 was a great success, bringing thousands of students to MIND to discuss social innovation, sustainability and the future of work. From 25 to 27 February, young people engaged with organisations, institutions and companies to explore how innovation can generate social impact. Human Technopole contributed to this collective effort through different voices and perspe…
