6 Students Team 1 Goal: Scientific Communication VIDEO Recap

Team 2 presents MEFISTO project, in which one of their group members was involved during their lab rotation.

MEFISTO, an EU funded project is working on developing innovative ways of using bioactive functionalized material to prevent the onset of osteoarthritis following meniscus loss. Their idea was to develop an informative video using the medium of storytelling, based on real-life person "Stefano".

They tried to communicate how MEFISTO can ultimately help patients like Stefano overcome their disability through a patient centered solution for the personalized regeneration of osteoarticular tissues.

Their project aimed at presenting to a general public the efforts of one of the research teams, of which Simone Scarcella has transiently been part of.
The research project is focused on understanding the biological causes of Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), a genetic disease.

SMA is a neurological disease that manifests, in most of the cases, in children, and most types are still incurable.

In times like these, everyone needs to contribute for the health and well-being of the entire society. COVID-19 continues to spread, and so does fake news surrounding it.
This kind of misinformation can be misleading and dangerous for all of us. We need to critically assess where the news is coming from and try to catch the information from reliable sources.
This video tries to explain clearly and directly how to find evidence-based information we can trust, so that our behavior is effective and informed!

TEAM 5
Mattia Basile - University of Milano - Bicocca
Riccardo Ripamonti - University of Milano - Bicocca
Elena Maria Ticozzi - Humanitas University

Team 6 focused on Gene Therapy for their communication project.
The idea was to share the daily difficulties of these patients and their families, and to underline the hope that they, and many other patients with genetic diseases place in research.
