PRECISE (Predictive Relationships Explaining Cancer Genetic Interactions and Synthetic Essentiality) is a pan-European initiative that aims to move cancer research beyond cataloguing cancer vulnerabilities towards predicting them before they are experimentally tested. Human Technopole (HT) is among the founding partners of the consortium, with Francesco Iorio leading its scientific activities acr…

Dollie LaJoie is a new Research Group Leader at Human Technopole, in the Molecular Cell Biology Research Centre. Her research explores how mutations in proteins can alter cell behaviour and contribute to human disease. By combining cell biology, biochemistry and crosslinking mass spectrometry, her Group will study diseases of the nuclear envelope and investigate the nucleus as a dynamic environme…

Meet Andrea Ganna, new Senior Group Leader in the Health Data Science Research Centre. His research integrates genetics, electronic health records, national health registries and population-scale biobanks to improve the early detection of common diseases and support more effective public health interventions.

Researchers at Human Technopole developed a novel tool to map the spatial organisation of the nucleus of eukaryotic cells by profiling the radial distribution of the genome from the nuclear periphery to the centre. The experimental procedure is published in Nature Protocols and featured on the cover of the journal. The post Genome maps: navigating the cell nucleus with GPSeq appeared first on Hum…

Human Technopole is offering up to 4 fully funded PhD scholarships through the SEMM PhD Program in Systems Medicine. These scholarships are open to talented and motivated graduates - both from Italy and abroad - interested in pursuing doctoral research in the following areas: Computational Biology, Funcional Genomics, Population and Medical Genomics. The post 4 fully funded PhD scholarships in Sy…

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…
