Psychophysiological correlates of science communicators
Becoming an effective science disseminator is a legitimate aspiration of male and female researchers, but the goal requires numerous skills: control of voice and body, the ability to synthesize combined with the pliability to change linguistic register depending on the audience, as well as the ability to manage stress in order to have a clarity […]
The European Commission has launched a public consultation for the strategy on life sciences in Europe
The European Commission has launched a public consultation process to define the strategy on life sciences in Europe. The goal is to gather views and input from citizens, researchers, businesses and stakeholders in a collaborative and inclusive process. The purpose of the consultation is to obtain information on the life sciences sector in Europe, specifically […]
AI and drug efficacy in cancer treatment
The bioinformatics group of the Biology Laboratory of the Scuola Normale, in Pisa, has developed a new artificial intelligence model for predicting personalized therapies in oncology. The method makes it possible to predict which drug candidates might be most effective in reducing tumor growth from the genomic information of patients, and in particular the expression […]

Nanotechnologies and Smart Nanomaterials: The Future of Targeted Drug Delivery
With sophisticated drug delivery systems, therapies will become increasingly personalized, safe, and effective. Nanotechnology represents one of the most bold and transformative frontiers of contemporary science, where matter is manipulated and controlled on an infinitesimal scale—the nanometer, one billionth of a meter—offering new perspectives for treating complex diseases such as cancer, as well as inflammatory, […]
New artificial intelligence model suggests additional pharmacological approaches in cancer treatment
“Learning and actioning general principles of cancer cell drug sensitivity” is out on Nature Communications. A monolithic study brilliantly crafted by Francesco Carli which offers a new strategy to predict potential anti-cancer drugs based on patients’ transcriptomics data. We trained a model (called CellHit) to forecast sensitivity of cancer cell lines to thousands of drugs […]
