The Campus Bio-Medico University of Rome has been awarded a total funding value of over 3 million euros from the Italian Science Fund 2024/2025 (FIS 3 Call) of the Ministry of University and Research. Artificial intelligence for treating Parkinson's disease and fighting infections, new studies on acute myeloid leukemia, and innovative 3D printing technologies. for the biomedical sector. These are the sectors in which many young researchers, winners of 3 FIS Starting Grants, of the Campus Bio-Medico University of Rome will conduct their research in the coming years.
- The neurologist Lazzaro Di Biase with "AI-driven closed-loop personalized therapy for Parkinson's disease" will aim to develop and test an innovative system based on Artificial intelligence for monitoring and personalized therapeutic management of Parkinson's diseaseBy integrating data from motion sensors, biochemical sensors, and neurophysiological sensors, the project aims to optimize drug delivery and improve real-time symptom control to make treatments more effective and improve patients' quality of life.
- Enrico Domenico Lemma he is instead the author of "Multiscale Translational Enabling Photopolymerization Additive Manufacturing", project with which the engineer of theUniversità Campus Bio-Medico di Roma aims to develop an innovative 3D printing technology which allows the modeling of biocompatible polymeric materials by combining high printing speed and sub-micrometric resolution, in order to obtain innovative prosthetic structures in the vascular and bone fields customized according to the needs of individual patients.
- "DeCODing myEloid programs that regulate immunity in Acute Myeloid Leukemia" it is the project signed by Andrea Marra, researcher in molecular medicine and biotechnology UCBMHis work is aimed at understanding epigenetic-transcriptional programs of innate immunity in the context of Acute myeloid leukemia, with the aim of defining new precision immunotherapy approaches.
The Italian Science Fund, which promotes basic research projects according to the methods consolidated at European level on the model of theEuropean Research Council (ERC), finance projects with high scientific content, conducted by emerging researchers (Starting Grant), in career (Consolidator Grant) and by established researchers (Advanced Grants). The 2025 notice saw the presentation by UCBM of 29 projects, with a success rate greater than 10 percent, against a national average of around 2% (source MUR, FIS 2021), with 3 winning works and 2 projects still in the ranking.
With its 50 research units, 3000 square meters of surface dedicated to laboratories and a Simulation Center At the forefront of offering students across its 16 degree programs innovative and immersive teaching, Campus Bio-Medico University confirms its position as an integrated model for teaching, research, and experimentation in innovative sectors that focus on personal well-being and improving quality of life.
