A resource for Italian biomedical research
The National Institute of Molecular Genetics (INGM) “Romeo and Enrica Invernizzi” is a research institute with focus on molecular genetics and on other methods of detection and diagnosis. INGM research began in 2007 and still continues inside the campus of the historic Policlinico Hospital, located in the very centre of Milan, in the “Romeo and Enrica Invernizzi” building. The Foundation has achieved significant scientific results in understanding the mechanisms of regulation of gene expression and interactions between the immune system and tumor cells.
As of today, INGM stands as a center of excellence in biomedical research both at national and international level.

It is now established that Epstein-Barr virus is involved in the development of MS. However, it is not known how the pathogen triggers the [...]
New breakthrough to help immune systems in the fight against cancer
New research has identified potential treatment that could improve the human immune system’s ability to search out and destroy cancer cells within the body. Scientists have identified a way to restrict the activity a group of cells which regulate the immune system, which in turn can unleash other immune cells to attack tumours in cancer [...]
