LABION is excited to communicate that Dr. Cristiano Carlomagno has been granted by Ministero della Salute to work on a three-year project about Raman analysis of saliva as diagnostic platform for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)! The project entitled "Towards a powerful tool for the stratification of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis patients: salivary biomarkers detection by...

Yesterday, February 5th, Dr. Silvia Picciolini defended her PhD thesis entitled "Detection and characterization of extracellular vesicles of neural origin as possible tool for diagnosis and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases". Silvia has completed her PhD program in Translational and Molecular Medicine under the supervision of Prof. Masserini (Univeristy of Milano Bicocca) and of Dr. Gramatica (founder and...

Since 2015, LABION has been working on the characterization by Raman spectroscopy of Extracellular Vesicles (EVs). EVs are nano-vesicles released by almost every cell of our body, during health and disease, and they are interesting vehicles of proteins, lipids and other bioactive  molecules that can be used in therapy (for example, regenerative rehabilitation of diseased...

LABION is looking for two undergraduated students in Biology/Biotechnology/Chemistry/Pharmacological Chemistry and Technologies or Physiscs interested in a master thesis project in the field of nanomedicine and biophtonics applied to neurological and cerebrovascular disorders. LABION is a multidisciplinary laboratory with multiple ongoing projects and othersin start-up in just a few months. Internships are inteded full-time over a period of around 1 year....

The LABION's fall season has started with the partecipation to the European meeting of the Nobel project held in Milan at IRCCS S. Maria Nascente. Nobel is a H2020 project that triggers the convergence of Nanomedicine with other Emerging Medical Tech in Europe. On the 5th October, Labion prpoudly participated to first meeting for...

Labion is proud to announce that Cristiano Carlomagno is now PhD in Materials, Mechatronics and System Engineering! Dr. Carlomagno joined Labion in July 2018 and yesterday, 23rd October, he discussed his PhD thesis about the evaluation of a new self-assembly technique, called Breath Figure (BF) method, for the synthesis of ceramic surfaces with a tunable pattern...

It was a pleasure for LABION to partecipate at MeetMeTonight 2018 in Milan. Together with other 5 labs from Fondazione Don Gnocchi we experienced 2 days of intense exchange and dissemination. Thanks for coming!   For those who missed it, meet you next year! ;)...

Per la prima volta la Fondazione Don Gnocchi parteciperà all'evento "Meet Me Tonight" che si terrà ai giardini Indro Montanelli nelle giornate 28 e 29 settembre, dalle 10 alle 22. Sei gruppi di ricercatori della Don gnocchi saranno a disposizione di adulti e bambini con dimostrazioni interattive ed esperimenti. Il LABION esporrà le proprie attività di...

Amrita Sahu recently joined LABION as visiting scientist. She is a doctoral student working in the lab of Dr. Fabrisia Ambrosio in the McGowan Institute, established by the University of Pittsburgh and UPMC.  We want to thank Amrita for her interesting talk about the ongoing projects in the field of regenerative rehabilitation at Dr. Ambrosio...

Labion was present at "The Biomarkers and Biogenesis of Extracellular Vesicles Workshop" (BBEV2018 in Padua). Dr. Silvia Picciolini and Dr. Cristiano Carlomagno presented their posters entitled: "Detection and characterization of brain-derived plasma exosomes by surface plasmon resonance imaging" and "Raman spectroscopy for the molecular profiling of extracellular vesicles in Parkison’s disease".
