Il Premio "Franco Palitti" sarà conferito alla migliore tesi di dottorato di ricerca riguardante ricerche sulla metilazione del DNA, la regolazione epigenetica, l'espressione e le modificazioni post-traduzionali di proteine che regolano l’organizzazione funzionale del genoma eucariotico.

A lecture by the Professor of Developmental Genetics and Genomics at the Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne and at the University of Geneva (Switzerland)

In this seminar, Francesco Di Virgilio (University of Ferrara) has provided an overview and shown data addressing the functional interactions of purinergic receptors, Damage-Associated Molecular Patterns (DAMP) and the inflammasomes, with implications for the molecular pathogenesis of periodic fever

A 4 year post-doc will address the hypothesis that early changes in axonal biology, and particularly in RNA localization and axonal signalling, play a role in ALS. The project will use a recently generated mouse model of ALS, microfluidic chambers to isolate axons, and a novel RNA tagging tool. This project is based in UCL ION within Gipi Schiavo's lab.
