June also saw a respectable number of studies by Italian researchers picked up by major international scientific journals, with 46 articles published involving the contribution of 349 Italian researchers working across 95 national research centers. Yet again, a high proportion of these publications were in the field of oncology (12 studies undertaken by 90 researchers at 14 centers), with items appearing in The Lancet Oncology as well as in specialized journals of the Nature publishing group, including Nature Leukemia, Oncogene, Cell Death and Disease, and Scientific Reports.
Also well-represented were studies in genetics, with 4 publications appearing in Nature Genetics and the European Journal of Human Genetics and involving the input of 49 researchers at 20 laboratories and research centers.
Of special note was a report aired on British broadcaster Sky dealing with transplant operations performed by Paolo Muiesan (recently interviewed by the Aspen Italia website team) and his team at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham (Big Rise In Number Of Living Organ Donors).
Finally, in the area of biomedical engineering, Aspen Italia’s website carries an interview with Riccardo Lattanzi, a researcher at the Center for Biomedical Imaging at the New York University School of Medicine whose work focuses on developing new applications for high-field magnetic resonance imaging.
