Hi everyone, we are back with the 5th Spring Meeting appointment, which will be held on Wednesday May 4th, at 14:30. The discussion, whose main theme is “Biomedical and Health”, will take us from the brief insight on the PhD projects of our first-year candidates, to the detailed lab techniques and preliminary results of our second-year students.
First speakers of the day will be Chiara Baioni (Prosperi’s Lab) and Chiara Frigerio (Clerici’s Lab), of the XXXVII cycle. Chiara Baioni, in this Star Wars Day, will introduce us to her project called “ANAKIN: Advanced Nanotechnology to Assist Keeping the tumor microenvironment Involved in cancer Neutralization”, which aims at overcoming the issues of delivering nanoparticles to desmoplastic cancer cells. On the other hand, Chiara Frigerio, with her project entitled “Understanding the interconnections between DNA-RNA hybrids and the DNA damage response”, will describe DNA-RNA hybrids in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and her strategy to understand how they affect DNA stability.
Then, our discussion will move on to our second-year candidates, Michela Galli (Clerici’s Lab) and Annalisa Morelli. Michela’s project, entitled “Searching for new genetic interactors of Tel1/ATM: looking for a needle in a haystack”, will illustrate the main steps of genomic screening, which she used to search for genetic interactors of two major proteins involved in the DNA damage response. Annalisa instead, whose project is called “Generation and characterization of a murine model of pulmonary fibrosis”, will tell us about the histological procedures she optimized to detect fibrosis and inflammation in lungs obtained from a pulmonary fibrosis murine model.
Martina Arici (Rocchetti’s Lab) and Patricia Perez (XXXV cycle) will be the chairs of the meeting and will guide us through the discussion.
The meeting will take place on Wednesday May 4th, at 14:30, in the room U2-01.
