The success of the 56 million euros obtained by the ministry for the redevelopment of the buildings (just over two years after the collapse of the former great hall), the new courses of study (in Oristano and Nuoro) that for the first time in total reach 100, the increase in the number of planned students in medicine (long awaited), the encouragement of the numbers for registrations and enrollments but also for the hiring of staff. This is how the University of Cagliari presents itself at the inauguration of the new academic year.
"This new year," the 404 for the University of Cagliari, "opens with great enthusiasm," says the Rector of the University of Cagliari Francesco Mola at the inauguration of the new academic year at the Faculty of Engineering. " After having overcome a critical phase related to lower revenues, we continue to grow ."
The dominant theme is healthcare. For Sardinia, the first region for incidence of thalassemia patients, a comforting message arrives. It is launched by Franco Locatelli, president of the Superior Health Council and at the forefront of research into gene therapy for diseases such as thalassemia. «The editing therapy approaches have given formidable results. The study that I had the honor of coordinating has shown that all the patients involved have obtained transfusion independence . This opens up important scenarios, the whole thing can in fact be a prototype model of personalized, precision medicine, based on the use of “living drugs” such as genetically modified cells».
