09/10/2026: The project PROTEUS got funded by the Italian Ministry of University and Research!
The project "PROTEUS: Physics of Cancer Dynamics: Single Cells, Interacting Populations and Data-Driven Adaptive Control" led by Marco Cosentino Lagomarsino, in which our team was one of the 5 teams involved, was funded in the last PRIN 2026 call! Looking forward to our collaboration with Marco's lab and the teams led by Sandro Azaele, Irene Giardina and Antonio Celani to increase our understanding of cancer therapy response at the single cell level and as a collective (and potentially controllable) dynamical phenomenon. For sure a big thank you to all the team, specifically to Sara and Erika, and to our fantastic collaborator Davide Mazza and his lab, since the project will push further our longstanding collaboration.
10/09/2026: Timothy Heinichen got his degree on Biomedical Research in Medicine!
This was long due: It was great to see Timothy graduating in July the 20th in San Raffaele University with his work on mathematical modelling of p53 dynamics under the supervision of Erika Aloi and myself! You can see below photos of the happy neo-graduate and committee members. But our collaboration does not end here, and Timothy will keep on collaborating with us, compatibly with the next steps of his exciting career. Fantastic work, and looking forward to our future collaborations!
01/04/2026: A wrap-up of EMBL's Biological Oscillators meeting
It was great to visit the EMBL in Heidelberg for be Biological Oscillators 2026 meeting, by far one of my favourite ones. An occasion to hear about a wide range of topics and a good example of how a common framework (oscillatory dynamics) allows to understand many different phenomena, from how mussels in deep waters adapt to tides to synchronization in fireflies. Maybe I missed a bit hearing more about molecular oscillators, like our favourite ones. In any case, Sara's flash talk and poster on her work was an absolute highlight of the conference (nicely done!) I also had the chance to flash-talk about our work too.
25/02/2026: Emanuele Colombo's preprint is now on bioRxiv!
The preprint of Emanuele Colombo, who did his PhD halfway between our team and in the almighty Davide Mazza's lab, is out. Kudos to all the co-authors, specifically to Timothy, Erika and Sara!
30/11/2025: Bye to our stable collaborator Liam!
Liam has accepted a fantastic position in the University of Surrey and our collaboration will become a bit lest stable. He will be greatly missed but we will keep on collaborating and building on his fantastic results!
23/10/2025: Review by Fulvio, Sara and Erika is out!
Our review on signaling dynamincs and cell fate with Davide Mazza's lab is out! Kudos to Erika, Sara, and all the co-authors!
