5 Students Team with 1 Goal: Scientific Communication VIDEO Recap
During the online course on Scientific Communication for Virgilio Program's 3rd Cohort Students, held by Dr. Chiara Gabbi MD PHD, 5 teams presented their communication projects assimilating the course learnings.
We are glad to share their excellent projects!
TEAM 1 - Personalized Medicine
Team 1
Angela Ferrari - UNIMIB
Antonio Maria Alviano - UNIMIB
Roberto Pinto - HUNIMED
Yeon Joo Lee - UNIMI
Adrian Safa (Team Leader) - HUNIMED
Description of the Video:
Our video deals with a novel approach to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases, that is personalized medicine: it consists in the characterization of the individual's genetic makeup to develop tailored medical strategies, with the aim to prevent and treat any given disease in a more effective way. This makes it possible to improve the efficacy and side effect profiles of medical interventions, while also optimizing healthcare costs.

Tumori: come combatterli nella vita di tutti i giorni
La parola tumore è per molti associata alla sofferenza, alla paura, e a molte domande senza risposta… Eppure molti tumori possono essere evitati o curati se diagnosticati precocemente! Ecco 7 azioni per combattere i tumori nella nostra vita di tutti i giorni.
TEAM 3 - Infertility

Description of the project
The project aims to inform the young population about infertility.
To achieve this ambitious goal, we created an Instagram page, one of the most effective ways to reach out to the young people.
The page has interesting posts, written after much research and careful verification of the accuracy of information.
The team hopes that you will follow our Instagram page. For more information: @learnabout_fertility
TEAM 4 - HPV vaccine
TEAM 4
Celeste Kado - Hunimed
Elena Maria Lissoni
Simone Piane - Unimib
Giuseppe Salfi - Unimib
Description of the Project
Awareness campaign on the HPV vaccine. In this short video, we explain how to prevent cancers caused by the Human Papilloma Virus. We imagine this video to be part of a Public Health campaign for the general population.
TEAM 5 - Bronchiolitis
Team 5
Alberto Bulgarelli - Hunimed
Martina Cambiaghi - Hunimed
Alessandro Gans - Unimi.it
Mattia Sivero - Unimib
Jack Pepys (Team Leader) - Hunimed
Description of the project
As part of an exercise in scientific communication on public health we prepared the following video.
It addresses bronchiolitis, a common lower respiratory tract infection which affects young children and of which there was a recent outbreak in our area (Lombardy, Italy).
In the video we explain the cause, symptoms, and prevention of the disease in an accessible way to the non-medical public.
We used the format of a TikTok video, which we think is the best way to gain the attention of young parents in the age of social media.
In order to make it more relatable we used the case of a very high profile national celebrity, Chiara Ferragni, who publicly shared videos about her daughter’s recent struggle with the disease.
