Research infrastructure/facilities
13 research facilities include proteomics, genomics, flow cytometry, conditional mutagenesis, histopathology, high field magnetic resonance, light/electron microscopy and statistics. The following facilities will be essential for the support of the proposed research. 1. A Mouse Facility with a capacity of up to 6,800 cages, 7 mouse procedure rooms and a BSL-2-3 stabulary where murine respiratory infection will be carried out. 2. Center for Omics Science with Next-generation sequencing based on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform, and support equipment. 3. Cell Sorting Facility equipped with FACS Aria and MoFlo XDP stations for high-speed cell sorting, FACS Canto II, LSRFortessa, and Gallios.
Research funding/Resources
Over the past 5 years, OSR has received around €1M in peer-reviewed awards for respiratory research from a variety of public and private funders including the Italian Ministry of Health, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Fondazione Ricerca Fibrosi Cistica Onlus, Agenzia Italiana del Farmaco, Fondazione Umberto Veronesi, Gilead and the Telethon Foundation.
Links to non-academic sector
The Infection and Cystic Fibrosis Unit has the major aim to favor the dissemination of critical knowhow and the design, testing and validation of novel therapies for Cystic Fibrosis. We worked together with several pharmaceutical companies with the aim to test pre-clinical efficacy of drugs in murine models of respiratory infection. Our work provide answers to the scientific unknowns in this pathology and lead to valid and permanent solutions for the quality-of-life faced on a daily basis by Cystic Fibrosis patients and their support associations. In this context, we work with a direct link with Italian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
Experience hosting international researchers, career development & training programmes, outreach activities
OSR is an international research institute hosting many foreign researchers. The HR Office has a dedicated officer to assist for visa and relocation issues and English is the official language for scientific activities. Both career development and trainings are highly valued by the institution. Scientific training is delivered both formally and informally, and seminar series are planned at laboratory, divisional and plenary level with weekly frequency. Trainings are also proposed for non-scientific topics such as clinical trial activities, public speaking, bioethics and research integrity, intellectual property and biotechnology transfer and grant and scientific writing.
