We are part of the PRIN 2020 project CANNOT-ESKAPE!
We are part of the team being awarded the national PRIN2020 project “CANNOT-ESKAPE: Targeting baCteriAl cell eNvelope of Nocosomial paThogens to ESKAPE resistance”. Our unit, led by Rita de Zorzi (University of Trieste), we will support a multidisciplinary team led by Flavia Squeglia (CNR, Naples), supporting biologists, chemists, and physicists tackling the problem of antimicrobial […]
UniTS press release on our latest AIRC project
The University of Trieste celebrated our achievements HERE (post available only in Italian), and also on FACEBOOK and LinkedIn!
We have been awarded an “Investigator Grant” from the Italian Association for Cancer Research (AIRC)
Our team has just been awarded an AIRC IG 2020 grant with the title “Computational design of theragnostic nanobodies: targeting missense mutants in metastatic breast cancer cells” (409,000€ – 5 years).
We are part of the H2020-MSCA-ITN team INTERfaces!
We are part of the team being awarded the H2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Innovative Training Networks (ITN) – European Industrial Doctorates (EID) with the project “INTERfaces – Heterogeneous biocatalysis reaction cascades training network” INTERfaces combines material science and protein engineering to design tailored enzymes and (bio-based) materials that will complement each other to obtain […]
We welcome Nikola Minovski in our team!
Welcome to Nikola Minovski, who joined today our team to work on the project “In silico design of customised high-affinity antibody fragments for biomarker detection” from the Alternatives Research & Development Foundation (ARDF).
Welcome to Hendrik Vondracek, who joined today our AIRC research project.
We welcome Hendrik Vondracek in our team! Hendrik is a physicist and got his PhD in 2018 from the Ruhr-Universität in Bochum (Germany). He then worked on a project involving research-driven (Elettra NanoInnovation Lab) and commercial (Ulisse BioMed) partners for the development of an electrochemical biosensor for the detection of biomarkers, and chose our team […]
We have been awarded a “ARDF’s Annual Open grant” from the Alternatives Research & Development Foundation (ARDF)
Our commitment in the development of new computational protocols that can compete and, in time, eliminate the demand for in vivo procedures for antibody discovery and maturation has been prized with a 40,000$ grant with the project “In silico design of customised high-affinity antibody fragments for biomarker detection” from the Alternatives Research & Development Foundation […]
Welcome to Luciana Gneo, who joined today our AIRC research project.
We welcome Luciana Gneo in our team! Luciana just submitted her PhD thesis at the University of L’Aquila (Italy), after spending the last period of her postgraduate studies in Birmingham (UK).
Welcome to Barbara Medagli, who joined today our AIRC research project.
We welcome Barbara Medagli in our team! She is joining us after a fruitful experience at Elettra (Trieste, Italy). Barbara is en expert in bio-crystallography and cell cultures. Her expertise will be key for the success of our project!
