CONFERENCES
10:00 - 11:00 New technologies for regenerative medicine
Giovanni Giobbe, GOSICH Research Associate, UCL - (Centres for Research into Rare Diseases in Children), London
Modern research leads to new solutions to repair damaged human organs. In this realm, tissue engineering uses combinations of cells, materials and new techniques to fulfill this purpose. In the laboratory we use mini-organs composed of stem cells, called organoids, to replicate what happens in the human body in the event of damage or disease. An organoid is therefore a simplified version of a miniature organ, on which we can investigate the effect of innovative drugs and therapies. Our studies focus on the application of these new techniques and technologies to develop new therapies for humans.
Target: everyone
11:30 - 12:30 What do you want to be when you grow up?
Anna Bassu, energy and nuclear engineer, Enel Produzione Spa
How many times have we heard this question? There are those who have always had clear ideas, those who have many ideas but still confused and those who don't have an idea, really and big you can't even imagine. But is there a right answer? As a former scientific high school student, I will try to tell you how I tried to answer, in a journey made up of passions, uncertainties, doubts, departures, returns and always new discoveries.
Target: upper secondary school
