Innovation and digital technologies at the service of medicine and healthcareThe new project of the Veneto Institute of Molecular Medicine supported by Intesa Sanpaolo through the Formula Program in collaboration with the Cesvi Foundation is called “A microscope for research”.The project involves the purchase of components for a ZEISS LSM 900 confocal microscope, an advanced imaging system that exceeds current standards for image quality and quantity of information generated.It is a cutting-edge tool that allows sophisticated analysis of three-dimensional and living cell samples: indispensable operations to face the increasingly demanding challenges that biomedical research must face.Research progress goes hand in hand with technological progress.The development of new lines of research and the discovery of new therapeutic approaches are in fact possible thanks to increasingly sophisticated tools, which broaden the range of investigations and provide increasingly accurate results.For more than 25 years, the Veneto Institute of Molecular Medicine, the operational arm of the Foundation for Advanced Biomedical Research, has been an international center of excellence for research in the biomedical field and operates in close connection with research centers, universities and Hospitals around the world.The new microscope will be used both by the over 200 researchers of the VIMM of Padua, who each year use the imaging service for more than 3,250 hours of research, and by external researchers who may request its use, opening the way to new discoveries in the struggle. against cancer, diabetes, heart and neurodegenerative diseases and muscle decay."The continuous investment in technology and innovation, combined with the attention to training and the inclusion of new figures, allows us to constantly stay on the frontier of research and scientific progress", underlined the President of the Foundation for Advanced Biomedical Research. , Francesco Pagano "Thanks to the initiative" A microscope for research "we will be able to provide the equipment present in the laboratory with a fundamental tool, because it is the basis of many essential operations for any investigation and experiment".A noble cause that Intesa Sanpaolo, assisted in the choice by the Cesvi Foundation, has decided to marry, placing it among those supported through the Formula Program, a project accessible from the For Funding fundraising platform to promote throughout the Italian territory dedicated to environmental sustainability, social inclusion and access to the labor market for people in difficulty.Specifically, the goal is to raise 100,000 euros by the end of September.“Intesa Sanpaolo strongly believes in the growth of Padua from the point of view of biomedical research - declared Cristina Balbo, regional director of Veneto Ovest and Trentino Alto Adige Intesa Sanpaolo -.We are therefore very proud to support this project of the Veneto Institute of Molecular Medicine and to give our concrete contribution to an important step forward in the development of research that we will continue to support so that Padua confirms its role as a reference center in the panorama of biomedical innovation.Tecnomedicina is a newspaper specialized in the topics of biomedical research, medicine and health, registered in the Press Register of the Court of Milan with n.286 of 28.11.2018Tecnomedicina is a product published by RBM Group Srls Via Domodossola, 7 - 20145 Milan VAT number: 10479500968 ROC registration n.32544To send communications, requests for information, press releases and reports or to get in direct contact with the editorial staff of Tecnomedicina, write to redazione@tecnomedicina.it
