The Department of Pharmacological and Biomolecular Sciences at Università degli Studi di Milano (UMIL), in collaboration with IRCCS MultiMedica (IRCCSMM) and BSN srl, hosted the CardioSCOPE Reintegration Day on December 9, 2024, in Milan, Italy. The event served as a platform for PhD students and young researchers to present their secondment experiences and discuss the scientific progress achieved within the project.
Event Highlights:
- Presentation of Secondment Experiences:
- In-person participants from UMIL: PhD students Omar Ben Mariem (secondments at PhUOB, BT), Claudia Giglione (BT), and Paolo Magni (BT).
- Online participants from UMIL: Laura Comi (PhUOB, BT) and Elena Olmastroni (BT).
- IRCCSMM: Valentina Pravatà (BT).
- BSN: Antonio Multari (URV, UOC), Giacinto Guercilena (URV), and Thomas Matulli Cavedagna (UOC).
Each secondee delivered a presentation reflecting on capacity building, scientific achievements, and lessons learned. The discussions focused on integrating new knowledge into their home institutions and optimizing project management for future participants.
- Scientific Impact & Collaboration:
- Presentations highlighted the multiomic and AI-driven approach of CardioSCOPE in assessing Acute Coronary Syndrome.
- Secondments fostered knowledge exchange between academia and industry, enhancing interdisciplinary collaboration across Europe.
- Coordinators Paolo Magni (UMIL) and Giacinto Guercilena (BSN) discussed strategic planning for future experimental work with BT and URV.
- Team Building & Future Engagement:
- Secondees praised the high-quality training, hands-on experience, and supportive research environments at host institutions.
- The event welcomed future secondment candidates, including new PhD students H. Berisha, R. Hattab, and A. Tang, emphasizing the importance of continued mobility and collaboration.
