Borea therapeutics, a biotech start-up based in Milan, received initial funding from Sofinnova Telethon, the largest Italian fund dedicated to the financing of innovative biotechnology. Borea is developing next-generation adenoviral vectors specifically targeted to the central and peripheral nervous system for gene therapy. The company was founded in 2020 by Paul Heppenstall, a full professor at SISSA, and European Molecular Biology Laboratory - EMBL. The company’s research activities are done in cooperation with SISSA.
We recieved a whopping 114 proposals for the upcoming National Science Communication Conference, to be held at SISSA next November, from the 16th to the 19th. An overwhelming success, that underscores the positive reaction of the community at the return of this event, which was on hiatus for several years.
Soon the proposals will undergo the blinded review process: an arduous task for our external reviewers due to not only the quantity but the quality of the proposals.
More information about the event are available on the official website of the conference:
