Fondazione Telethon is launching a new postdoctoral program, offering 3-year fellowships at TIGEM for motivated scientists seeking to advance their careers in genetic disease mechanisms and gene therapy.
Applicants must have resided and conducted research outside of Italy during the three years immediately preceding the application. Priority will be given to scientists currently working in the United States.
Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the positions are filled.
We are seeking dynamic scientists with expertisein one of the following fields:
-Non-viral gene delivery
-Innate immune response
-AI-driven protein design
-Synthetic biology
Candidates must not have resided in Italy during the past three years. Priority will be given to scientists currently working in the United States.
The ERC Advanced Grant 2025 (ERC-2025-ADG) call opened 22 May 2025 with a submission deadline on 28 Aug 2025. Swiss-based researchers are eligible to apply.
Researchers of all career stages who have a track-record of significant research achievements and are leaders in their field may apply for this 5-year grant (budget up to EUR 2.5 M).

Dear all,
Please join us for the CIG Progress Reports 2025/2026 seminar series in which we’ll get to hear some stories developing in the department.
All are welcome!
Place: Batochime 2218 auditorium in 2025. We will inform you of the room in every reminder email sent before the seminar.
Each speaker presents their work in 20-25 min + 5-10 questions.
For more dynamic discussions, we usually interrupt speakers with questions during the talk. The aim is to share your work with your colleagues and receive scientific feedback.
Please keep in mind that the CIG is very diverse and many of your colleagues are not familiar with details of your field and specific methodologies. Thus, we advise you to balance the amount of presented data against the time you have to present.
Optional feedback on presentation skills using a questionnaire By popular demand, but only if desired, presenters can receive tips from a couple of PIs to improve presenter skills. For this, we prepared a feedback questionnaire to be filled out together over a brief discussion at the end of the seminar.
Schedule (Thursday at 4 PM)

The Gene Regulation Workshop is a one day meeting in Lausanne featuring internationally recognized scientists that work on molecular mechanisms controlling transcriptional and post-transcriptional responses in gene expression to cell-type specific, developmental or environmental cues.
The workshop will be organized in a hybrid format, with in person attendance and the possibility to follow the talks online (link upon registration).
