The Politecnico di Milano and the European Institute of Oncology have signed a framework agreement for scientific research through the establishment of the joint research centre ONCO-TECH-LAB – Modeling and Applications for Human Health.
The centre will be coordinated by Prof. Guido Baroni and will combine the know-how of the Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering in artificial intelligence, robotics and cutting-edge tissue engineering technologies and IEO's extensive knowledge of life sciences.
ONCO-TECH-LAB is a platform that integrates human, instrumental and logistical resources of both partners to increase the critical mass and quality of research, consequently facilitating the access to calls, funding and national and international programs. The main area of the agreement concerns oncology and other disciplines such as haematology, immunology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, transplantology and diagnostic imaging.
The birth of ONCO-TECH-LAB represents both an achievement and a relaunch of the scientific collaborations between the Politecnico di Milano and the European Institute of Oncology concerning tissue engineering and the applications of artificial intelligence to diagnostic imaging and surgical robotics in the field of oncology. The initiative stems from the awareness that the synergy between biomedical research and technology is the winning strategy for bringing together different skills and developing a common language to support research and training. This is the model that will be implemented in ONCO-TECH-LAB, a multidisciplinary platform that will transfer scientific discoveries into real life healthcare in an ever more efficient way.
