A new study of the nephrology group combined functional imaging with single cell sequencing to delineate the landscape of responses to proteinuria along the entire nephron. The study highlights that proteinuria induces both remodeling and injury, in a segment specific manner. This research is a collaboration with Sophie de Seigneux’s lab in Geneva and Andrew…
The work carried out by the lab of Nephrology, in collaboration with the University of Paris, shows that decreased urinary taurine concentrations are a hallmark of acutely and chronically injured kidney allografts and are predictive of graft loss. The study is published in Transplantation, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38502560/

A transfer learning approach to exploit the power of single-cell technologies toward clinical applications has been developed by the nephrology group in collaboration with Dalle Molle Institute for Artificial Intelligence and the University Hospital of Geneva. The work has been published in iScience. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.isci.2024.109271
The nephrology group identified the critical role of SOX9 switch in kidney regeneration and fibrosis. The studies, performed in collaboration with the group of Prof. Sanjeev Kumar (Los Angeles), were recently published in Science. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.add6371
We are thrilled to announce that Anna Rinaldi, Postdoctoral Researcher at the Nephrology Laboratory guided by Professor Cippà, won the ERA prize for the presentation entitled “Identification of a novel senolytic compound to prevent chronic kidney injury and fibrosis”.
Lucio Barile, Group Leader, Laboratory for Cardiovascular Theranostics LRT-EOC (see also Linkedin post) Just had an incredible retreat with Cardiovascular Sciences PhD Students from USI Università della Svizzera italiana, Universität Bern and @University of Lausanne, CH. We dove into cutting-edge research, Innovative ideas! We built connections and friendship across universities. Istituto Cardiocentro Ticino – EOC…
We are glad to share that Dr. Dalila Petta, Postdoctoral Researcher at the Regenerative Medicine Technologies Laboratory, succeeded in the application for the ‘JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowship for Researchers in Japan (https://www.jsps.go.jp/english/e-fellow/). Dr. Petta has been selected to take part in a fellowship at the Laboratory of Prof. Namasivayam at Kyoto University’s iCeMS Institute for Integrated Cell-Material…
A study led by Dr. Sheida Moghadamrad at Laboratories for Translational Research, Hepatology/Gastroenterology department of Ente Ospedaliero Cantonale and faculty of Biomedical Sciences of Università della Svizzera italiana highlights the key role of intestinal microbiota in the regulation of epithelial cells turnover and renewal that further alters the phenotype of secretory cells depletion in a…
