Webinar “Research Planning and Proposal Development" led by experts from the University of Milan

On the 18th of March 2024, we hosted the webinar with the following topics:

1. The European Cooperation in Science and Technology COST grant family, Prof. Tiziana A. Brevini

2. The Doctorate Network – Joint Doctorate Marie Slodowska-Curie Actions  (EIC) Work Programme grant family, Prof. Fabrizio Ceciliani 

3. The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowships (PFs), Prof. Albert Luciano

4.  The European Innovation Council (EIC) Work Programme grant family, Prof. Fulvio Gandolfi

Speakers:

Prof. Tiziana A. Brevini serves as a Full Professor of Anatomy and Embryology at the University of Milan, Italy. Her main area of research focuses on the understanding of cell differentiation and commitment, epigenetic, paracrine and mechanosensing-related controls in mammalian cell fate and embryo. She has acted as MC Chair of the recent COST Action “CellFit”, which bloomed into 3 successfully ongoing European Projects.

Prof. Fabrizio Ceciliani is a full professor of Veterinary pathology. His interest lies in innate immunity and molecular pathology, with a focus on system biology applied to livestock diseases. He is the coordinator of the Veterinary and Animal Sciences PhD program at the University of Milan and the Editor-in-Chief of the Veterinary Research Communications Journal. 

Prof. Alberto M. Luciano - Professor of Veterinary Anatomy and Physiology at the University of Milan. His has been working on the role of progesterone in regulating granulosa cell apoptosis. His current research topic focuses on mammalian oocyte differentiation and on cellular and molecular determinants that confer oocyte meiotic and embryonic developmental competence. Co-founder of the Reproductive and Developmental Biology Laboratory (ReDBioLab), which coordinates since 2005. He tutored three MSCA PFs and is deputy coordinator of the H2020 MSCA-ITN-ETN "EUROVA".

Prof. Fulvio Gandolfi - Full Professor of Anatomy and Physiology of Domestic Animals at the University of Milan has been working in the field of biotechnology since the mid ‘80s. His research has spanned from embryology, ovarian physiology, transgenesis, stem cells to cell reprogramming, developing in vitro models. Now he is working on an advanced model of the fish intestine for developing sustainable diets, evaluating single nutrients or preventing microplastic transfer into the human food chain. He is supported by an EIC Pathfinder grant that has evolved in a Proof-of-concept study supported by private investors.

The event is a part of the Best Practise Transfer from the University of Milan.
