[Google translate] U28: when the medicine of the future is called Saint Gerard

An environment of excellence, where the present is a perspective.

In U28 the time that lives is the future, that is, building what will be medicine tomorrow, both by prolonging life, defeating cancer, and by partially resolving its degeneration when it touches the central nervous system and takes the name of Sla and Alzheimer.

U28 was born from a collaboration between excellences: the San Gerardo Hospital and the Bicocca University.

U28 is a research environment based on the model of open science, in which researchers integraoate are involved in teams of nanomedicine and humic sciences, building blocks of precision medicine.

A coordinated and cohesive team, engaged in parallel projects and consisting of designers of nanoparticles whose background is that of specialists in Medicine and Surgery, Biotechnology and Biosciences, Physics and Materials Science.

The current horizon is the research on the therapy of tumors and diseases of the central nervous system, we said.

The work is directed towards the creation of new devices for gene and immunological therapy, for the identification of drugs not foreign to the body, able to fight the enemy only where it is needed, identifying it and hitting it for a final victory and without collateral damage.

One of the other projects on which the researchers are working is related to the production of human tissues from 3D printers.

Reproduce life patterns. Understand and write the assembly manual.

The great objective is the possibility of producing functional organs. Currently, it is already possible to biostamplate portions of organ or tissue, but these portions already contain the different cell components.
