The University of Trento is inviting students from the 12 universities of the ECIU network to solve two challenges launched with the City of Trento and Digital Innovation Hub Trentino Alto Adige. The participants will have to find solutions to real problems, taking advantage of the lessons learned in the classroom. With ECIU University, students experience the work environment, while universities explore new ways to design courses. The goal is to build the future European university: innovation oriented and focused on responding to local needs

An international study on this genetic neurodegenerative disorder, coordinated by the University of Trento, identified the fundamental role of a protein (PRMT6) in ensuring the transport capacity of neurons and therefore their health. The work was published in Cell Reports

A team of theoretical physicists from the University of Trento has shown that it is possible to use quantum computers to simulate processes of great biological importance, such as changes in the shape of proteins. Their study, published in the international academic journal Physical Review Letters, may pave the way for the use of quantum technologies in biomedical and pharmacological sciences

Landmark human study is first to reveal strong links between specific gut microbes, diet and health, including weight. Large-scale international study uses metagenomics and blood chemical profiling to uncover a panel of 15 gut microbes associated with lower risks (and 15 with higher risks) for common illnesses such as diabetes and heart disease
