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 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 […]
