Build the science that shapes the future of human health.

Application closing date: 29.10.2026

Human Technopole (HT) is an interdisciplinary life science research institute, created and supported by the Italian Government, with the aim of developing innovative strategies to improve human health. HT is composed of six Centers: Molecular Cell Biology, Neurogenomics, Computational Biology, Structural Biology, Genomics, and Health Data Science. The Centers work together to enable interdisciplinary research and to create an open, collaborative environment that will help promote life science research both nationally and internationally.

The Molecular Cell Biology Research Center at HT aims to discover the molecular mechanisms which support human health and are disrupted in human disease.

In the LaJoie group within the Molecular Cell Biology Research Centre, studies how proteins of the nuclear envelope function to promote human health. By doing so, we can understand how their dysregulation results in diseases such as muscular dystrophy and cardiomyopathy.



With the combination of specialized resources and expertise at Human Technopole, we are uniquely able to address these questions and the molecular and cellular level.

Internship Project Description

We are seeking a motivated intern to join our team and contribute to advancing research on how proteins of the nuclear envelope function during open mitosis. The intern will be involved in a project whose aim is to develop assays which identify previously uncharacterized protein-protein interactions during mitosis.
