We would like to point out the hackathon organized for students by the SYNLAB Group in collaboration with Cariplo Factory entirely dedicated to “Ageing Population and Chronic Diseases-AI, cybersecurity and data science to improve patients' life”.

The hackathon will kick off with online educational and inspirational sessions, held from October 28 to 30, 2024, featuring a variety of speakers.

Afterwords, the hackathon will continue with two face-to-face days, on November 5 and 6, 2024, at the Milano Innovation District.

Students can apply individually or in teams, testing their skills to develop innovative solutions. Students are invited to develop an innovative solution within the thematic areas of Chronic Diseases, Ageing Population, Patient Care Management. Solutions must integrate one or more of the identified enabling technologies (AI & machine learning, Platform/app, Data science) with special attention to the data security of the patients who use the solution.

The event will take place at the same time as 20 other European cities, in the context of the Innovation Days of the European Institute of Innovation & Technology, with the support of expert mentors in Design Thinking and speakers from important companies in the Healthcare and Digital sectors.

The winners of the 20 European cities will compete at the Winners' Event, which will be held on 28-29 November in Budapest, the final stage of the competition that will reward the most innovative and brilliant proposal at European level.

The following opportunity is highlighted:

"I am looking for a motivated person to work in my group on the project “PROtein interactome to sustain seed Storage Protein synthesis in the ER – PROSPER” PRIN-MUR.

The study concerns the molecular mechanisms underlying the synthesis and accumulation of seed storage proteins (SSPs). In particular, we are interested in the network of molecular helpers that take care and assist SSP synthesis, both under physiological and stress conditions, whose activity is closely related to the quality and quantity of protein in the mature seeds.

Folding and assembly of SSPs in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is controlled by interactions with ER-resident chaperones and enzymes in a polypeptide-specific manner. Environmental stresses could perturb SSP proteostasis, triggering a transcriptional/translational response called “Unfolded Protein Response – (UPR).

Biochemical, molecular biology and microscopy approaches will be used to identify SSP-specific molecular helpers. The most promising candidates will be functionally characterized using gene editing and/or gene-tagging techniques.
