From March 24-26, our team members Fabio and Italo attended M.I.C.e.R.Co. – the 3rd Meeting of the Italian C. elegans Research Community at the Mario Negri Institute, Milan (Italy).
🧬 March 24: Hands-on theoretical-practical workshop on C. elegans in biomedical and pharmacological research.
📢 March 25-26: Engaging talks and discussions.
📌 Fabio presented a poster: “Phenotypic screening of SG-compounds as autophagy promoters in a C. elegans model of AD: a multiparametric analysis”
A huge thank you to the organizing committee – Luisa Diomede, Carmina Natale, Margherita Romeo, and Maria Monica Barzago – for putting together such a fantastic event! 👏
It was an incredible opportunity to share knowledge, connect with researchers, and contribute to the growing C. elegans community. Looking forward to future collaborations!
We are thrilled to celebrate the achievement of Dr. Italo Cirone, who has successfully obtained his Ph.D. in Science of Drugs and Bioactive Substances, graduating with honors!
📜 Thesis Title: "Targeting Protein-Protein Interactions with Novel Small Molecules: Phenotypical and Rational Approaches for Cancer Therapy" - under supervision of Professor Simona Rapposelli
Dr. Cirone’s research represents a significant step forward in the development of innovative Protein-protein interaction modulators for anti-cancer therapy. His dedication, scientific rigor, and passion for discovery will undoubtedly contribute to advancing the field.
Congratulations, Dr. Cirone! Wishing you continued success in your future endeavors. 🎉👏
