It is our great pleasure to announce that Prof. Simone Bersini and Prof. Arianna Baggiolini were granted 1’800’000 chf to develop a project dealing with the biofabrication of miniaturized models of the human brain (i.e. organoids) and their integration with functional microvascular networks. The funded project will allow to study key mechanisms of neural progenitor…
La dott.ssa Srividya Velagapudi e la dott.ssa Vanessa Biemmi ricevono l’Albrecht von Haller Young Investigator Award 2024. La dott.ssa Velagapudi studia le infiammazioni del tessuto adiposo e il loro effetto sulle malattie cardiovascolari, mentre la dott.ssa Biemmi esamina i meccanismi che possono portare all’ictus cerebrale in caso di fibrillazione atriale. Pericolose infiammazioni del tessuto adiposo…
Vontobel Stiftung has awarded Dr. Sheida Moghadamrad for her project, which aims to deepen our understanding of Metabolic dysfunction fatty liver disease (MASLD) by exploring the role of Paneth cells -specialized intestinal innate immune cells- in regulating gut barrier function and lipid absorption. Utilizing advanced methodologies such as in vivo laser endomicroscopy, 3D and 2D…
Congratulations to Elisa Sorrenti, PhD student at #LRT_EOC in Prof. Giandomenica Iezzi’s lab.for the best oral presentation at the BioMed PhD Day 2024 entitled “Interplay between tumor-associated neutrophils and gut microbiota in human colorectal cancer”.
The Swiss National Science Foundation has awarded a prestigious research grant to Prof. Lucio Barile from the Istituto Cardiocentro Ticino and Laboratories for Translational Research of Ente Ospedaliero Cantonale, for an ambitious bilateral research project in collaboration with a research group led by Dr. Marzia De Bortoli at Eurac Research Institute in Bolzano. The project…
It is our great pleasure to announce that Prof. Bersini was granted 800’000 chf funding to continue his research on vascular aging. The funded project deals with the “biofabrication” of microscale models of the blood brain barrier through miniaturized systems called “organ-on-a-chip”. Using human vascular cells, the project will allow to build 3D models of…
Intervista a Paolo Paganetti (Laboratori EOC). È sua la scoperta che la proteina Tau, protagonista dell’Alzheimer, regola anche l’efficacia di un’altra proteina (la p53) fondamentale nello sviluppo del cancro https://www.ticinoscienza.ch/it/news.php?quegli-intrecci-misteriosi-fra-origine-dell-alzheimer-e-quella-dei-tumori
Conducting laboratory research with the primary objective of identifying practical applications to improve patient care (this is what translational research is). Taking full advantage of synergies within the EOC’s facilities, also thanks to its group leaders, who balance their work between research laboratories and patient care in hospital. Aiming to use innovative and cutting-edge techniques,…
We are pleased to announce that Anna Rinaldi, Postdoctoral Researcher at the Nephrology Laboratory, has been awarded the prize for her poster titled “Identification of a Naturally Derived Senolytic Compound to Prevent Kidney Aging” This research is a key component of the SINERGIA SENOTARG project, which aims to advance our understanding and treatment of age-related…
