A visit to Politecnico di Milano

Last week we visited Politecnico di Milano for a dissemination event organized together with the Associazione Ingegneri Matematici (AIM) and the Biomedical Engineering Association (BEA).

The goal was twofold: introducing students to Human Technopole and the research happening in the Jug Lab, and giving students considering a research career a chance to meet us in person.

The talks ranged across our work — who we are and how we do research at HT; AI methods for computational multiplexing in fluorescence microscopy and for breast cancer risk prediction; and the role of research software engineering in our teams. Big thanks to Aman Kukde, Federico Carrara, Ruggiero Santeramo, and Vera Galinova for sharing their work and experiences.

Around sixty students attended, and the conversations kept going long after the last talk ended — about research paths, opportunities, and what working on AI methods for biology actually looks like.

We’re planning similar events at other universities across the Milano area. If you’d like us to come to yours, get in touch.
