  • Mario Negri hosted our (laready) last summer school from July 3rd - 7th, 2023 at the beautiful Villa Camozzi, Ranica, Bergamo, Ital

    This last summer school was full of events and surprises!

  • The 5 day-training school covered : 

    • Theory, research practice and innovation in pharmacology

      Provided an in-depth and comprehensive understanding of clinical research principles and practice

    • Ethical and legal requirements

      As well as regulatory and financial dimensions of clinical research.

    • Clinical studies in practices

      Project management and coordination: Provided a systematic understanding and critical awareness of clinical trial protocol. Participants learned strategies for developing risk-based monitoring in investigational studies. The special focus was on the efficiency and security of data management in clinical research.

    • Scientific communication

      Provided an understanding of how to read clinical research results and write a scientific paper. In addition, the role of patients in clinical research from passive (patient is a ‘data point’) to active (patients as ‘research partners’) was examined.

    • Drug discovery and development process, regulatory and commercial aspects of management in the pharmaceutical industry

      Participants gained an understanding of medical regulation principles, quality system of drug lifecycle activities principles, how enterprises are organized, and how to lead a team in a pharmaceutical company.

    • We planned a full week that included sessions providing: an in-depth and comprehensive understanding of clinical research principles and practice as well as ethical and legal requirements of clinical research. The participants also had the opportunity to study medical regulation principles and the drug lifecycle. 

      In addition to this theoretical training, we scheduled sessions to help them to read scientific papers and to write posters.

  • We took the opportunity of this gathering in the beautiful Villa Camozzi to shoot some communication content. We will soon release a short film presenting our project to the general public to underline the importance of Chronic Kidney Disease and the need for funding. Local TV and newspapers also came to interview some of our PhD students.
