L'Università Campus Bio-Medico di Roma returns to the spotlight of international scientific research: Alessio Gizzi, Associate Professor of Building Science at the Faculty of Engineering, he got a ERC Consolidator Grant, the most coveted European research award. These calls are part of Horizon Europe's initiatives to fund cutting-edge research and are reserved for young researchers with internationally recognized scientific credentials.
"The ERC Consolidator Call - explains the Rector UCBM, Eugenio Guglielmelli - supports the growth of top talent in the most challenging phase of their career. We are proud to have a young scientist on our faculty capable of achieving such a prestigious result, which will certainly generate new growth opportunities at our University in the field of medical physics.
In the next five years Alessio Gizzi will lead the MiGEM border project The project aims to improve understanding of gastrointestinal diseases such as dysrhythmias, gastroparesis, and paralytic ileus. The ultimate goal is to understand the underlying causes of these disorders and identify more effective therapeutic strategies than currently available. The project will involve the development of theoretical-computational digital models based on innovative experiments capable of measuring, for the first time in the world, the heat generated by the gastrointestinal wall and mapping its movement. MiGEM approaches gastrointestinal diseases with a view to preventing them, identifying silica-based therapeutic strategies through the optimization of existing devices, their efficiency or improved use, or by proposing new therapeutic strategies not yet available.
With MiGEM, theUniversità Campus Bio-Medico di Roma strengthens its position among European excellence, contributing to innovation and progress in gastrointestinal health.
