The “Center for Computational and Technological Medicine” is launched in Liguria. This is in fact one of the six agreements on the flagship projects of the PNRR signed today at Palazzo Chigi.

“The project proposed by the Liguria Region serves to create a” Center for Computational and Technological Medicine “, said the presidengte of the Council Mario Draghi, who underlined how it unites “scientific, technological and clinical infrastructures in innovative ways and has the ambition to become a reference point in the sector”.

Specifically, the draft Memorandum of Understanding between the Region and the Ministry for Regional Affairs and Autonomies, the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of University and Research on the methods of collaboration for the realization of the Flag Project of the Liguria Region ‘Center of Computational and Technological Medicine’ of national importance is aimed at transferring the results of research relating to the use of computational calculation to biological models and management programs of robotic technologies for biomedical use to the clinic and their subsequent development as prototypes. .

“We are deeply proud of this project – says the president and councilor for health of the Liguria Region Giovanni Toti – our Flag Project is the only one that concerns the health sector and, more generally, the life sciences, with the construction of a hospital that will also be the first national reference center for computational medicine, representing a flower for the eyelet for the whole country “.

Financing has been defined for a total of 405 million euros: 280 million euros as part of the Inail investment program among the ‘real estate investment initiatives of high social utility in the healthcare construction sector’ in relation to the acquisition of the areas , to the design and construction of structures for healthcare and translational and basic research activities related to clinical activities, 60 million euros from the former article 20 of law 67/88 relating to technological, technical and furniture equipment, 65 million euros from the NRP, for additional technological equipment, basic research infrastructures and programs of basic and translational scientific activity.

“This flagship project linked to the Liguria Region has a very significant rate of innovation and has the objective of creating two fundamental revolutions: genomics and big data. This will allow us to strengthen ourselves on precision and personalized medicine. The initiative will be connected to IRCCS Gaslini and IRCCS San Martino “, said the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza.
