Researcher of Politecnico di Milano Carmen Giordano received 2 grants for her work on the microbiota-gut-brain axis. DIANA and PEGASO 2 projects to investigate the set of connections that link the intestinal microflora (gut microbiota) and the functioning of our brain and to develop an innovative multi-organ-on-a-chip technological toolthat will study new therapeutic strategies for brain diseases.
With cell modeling the international scientific community will better understand the mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 infection and faster develop vaccines and therapeutic agents against COVID-19: a study by the italian researchers from Politecnico di Milano and Università degli Studi di Milano
Politecnico di Milano: “iHEART” winner of an ERC Advanced Grant of € 2,350,000, has set itself the ambitious goal of creating a complete mathematical model to study the behaviour of the human heart and its pathologies, a sort of “virtual microscope”, which integrates all cardiac function processes, namely electrical impulse propagation, contraction and myocardial relaxation, blood fluid dynamics.

Catalytic Membrane Reactors (CMR) are able to perform synthesis and separation of chemical products in a single unit, thus reducing energy consumption and environmental impact.
The objective of the MACBETH project (Membranes And Catalysts Beyond Economic and Technological Hurdles) is to demonstrate in operational environment (TRL 7) the performance and reliability of the catalytic membrane reac
A recent study shows that 800 million more people could be fed by sustainably expanding irrigation over economic water scarce croplands.
COVID 19 - Thanks to containment measures, in Italy infection has been reduced up to 45% at March 25. Italian researchers have constructed a model that can be used to provide scenarios regarding future governmental measures.
Lunar powder or regolith could be 3D printed through the optimisation of processing conditions and laser parameters. Following a research by Politecnico di Milano together with the Italian Space Agency (ASI) and the European Space Agency (ESA), it was possible to define guidelines for the design of a future 3D printing system for use in space.
Groundbreaking study on Advanced Materials by Politecnico di Milano, New York University, CNR-IOM of Perugia, University of Perugia, and PolLux beamline at PSI, Switzerland.
Milan, February 12, 2020 - A research group from Politecnico di Milano has developed a new computing circuit that can execute advanced operations, typical of neural networks for artificial intelligence, in one single operation.
The Francesco Topputo’s (Politecnico di Milano Department of Aerospace Engineering) Engineering Extremely Rare Events in Astrodynamics for Deep-Space Missions in Autonomy (EXTREMA) project won a prestigious ERC Consolidator Grant worth two million Euro.
The new experimental unit built at the Politecnico di Milano within the ERC project "MINERVA" of Horizon 2020 Milan, October 17 2019 - Two new laboratories of the Politecnico di Milano, "MINERVA" and "ATHENA", called "TechnoBiology" labs, have been officially presented today to the scientific community.
The University has always focused on the quality and innovation of its teaching and research, developing a fruitful relationship with business and productive world by means of experimental research and technological transfer.
Research has always been linked to didactics and it is a priority commitment which has allowed Politecnico Milano to achieve high quality results at an international level as to join the university to the business world. Research constitutes a parallel path to that formed by cooperation and alliances with the industrial system.
Knowing the world in which you are going to work is a vital requirement for training students. By referring back to the needs of the industrial world and public administration, research is facilitated in following new paths and dealing with the need for constant and rapid innovation. The alliance with the industrial world, in many cases favored by Fondazione Politecnico and by consortiums to which Politecnico belong, allows the university to follow the vocation of the territories in which it operates and to be a stimulus for their development.
The challenge which is being met today projects this tradition which is strongly rooted in the territory beyond the borders of the country, in a relationship which is developing first of all at the European level with the objective of contributing to the creation of a single professional training market. Politecnico takes part in several research, sites and training projects collaborating with the most qualified European universities. Politecnico's contribution is increasingly being extended to other countries: from North America to Southeast Asia to Eastern Europe. Today the drive to internationalization sees Politecnico Milano taking part into the European and world network of leading technical universities and it offers several courses beside many which are entirely taught in English.
