Vision & Mission

1.

ATLANTIS promotes basic, translational and clinical research in the field of metabolism and inflammation, focusing on chronic-degenerative and oncological diseases. ATLANTIS aims to form a research network to favour scientific collaborations, the circulation of ideas and the best exploitation of human and material resources, also integrating non biomedical skills (computer science, mathematics, physics, chemistry) to encourage the development of new "enabling technologies".  

2.

Objective of ATLANTIS is to pursue the identification of new biomarkers or clusters of biomarkers, useful for prevention, differential diagnostics, etiopathogenesis, prognosis, therapy and any further aspect of precision medicine. The Centre will take care of transferring the results of these research activities to current diagnostic and clinical practice.

3.

ATLANTIS will promote and develop high education activities within the PhD Schools, favoring the internationalization process as much as possible through a regular exchange of students and visiting professors. The Center also aims to encourage any other type of training such as the organization of seminars, scientific conferences, educational courses, and to promote cultural exchanges with other national and international research centers. Furthermore, Atlantis will carry out dissemination activities, aiming to engage the general public and patient associations.

4.

ATLANTIS will foster collaborations with biotech and start-up companies with the aim of providing services on the one hand, and developing common projects on the other. When possible, the results will be patented and eventually exploited by industry.
