The award to enhance the research and innovation work of young people in the Trentino region

An FBK-coordinated study published in Nature Communications demonstrates the importance of correct information to limit transmission

Researchers from Trento-based Fondazione Bruno Kessler Foundation participated in the work published in the scientific journal The Lancet Planetary Health

Scientific excellence feeds on knowledge challenges that find application in our daily lives: from the smartphones we use to the universe we explore. The FBK dictionary series offers close encounters with the disciplinary fields that shape Fondazione Bruno Kessler, one word at a time.

The section that monitors and provides information on FBK projects for the PNRR is available on www.fbk.eu

Through the Health Emergencies Center, directed by Stefano Merler, Trento based Fondazione Bruno Kessler will be the leader, together with Istituto Superiore di Sanità (the Italian National Institute of Health) and the Association of Experimental Zooprophylactic Institutes, of the epidemiology and statistical and mathematical modelling studies for INF-ACT, the new consortium of 25 universities, public and private entities dedicated to emerging infectious diseases.

The results of the call on the Extended Partnerships of the MUR, based on the PNRR, have rewarded FBK, protagonist of 5 proposals among those that have passed the first selection, dedicated to 14 topics of national interest.

FBK's Center for Health Emergencies contributed to the new study published in Nature

In the focus, the issue explained by the Istituto Superiore di Sanità and Fondazione Bruno Kessler

Valentina Marziano (FBK) is the co-author of a new study recently published in Nature on the spread of COVID-19 in China, according to which non-pharmaceutical interventions will continue to be the number one weapon to curb infections

BMC Medicine has published the open access research paper "Modeling the interplay between demography, social contact patterns, and SARS-CoV-2 transmission in the South West Shewa Zone (SWSZ) of Oromia Region, Ethiopia" authored by Trentini, F. et al.

Age-specific likelihood of developing symptoms and of progressing to critical disease after SARS-CoV-2 infection

These numbers come from the new 'flash survey' conducted by ISS and the Ministry of Health in cooperation with regional laboratories and Fondazione Bruno Kessler

Starting from January 1, 2021, the statute of FBK has changed: there are now 6 new Research Centres and a Management dedicated to Marketing and business development will be soon inaugurated.

We highlighted the scientific results of Francesca Bovolo, Alessandro Cimatti, Manlio De Domenico, Paolo Massa, Fabio Remondino and Carlo Strapparava. The Scopus data analysis was published in the international journal Plos Biology

The research led by epidemiologist Stefano Merler was published in the scientific journal Eurosurveillance

Fondazione Bruno Kessler has played an important role during this health emergency. In fact, its contribution was critical in analyzing the data on the spread of the pandemic in close connection with ISS, the Italian National Institute of Health.

The analysis conducted by the researchers from Trento-based Fondazione Bruno Kessler, in cooperation with colleagues from Lombardy Region health institutions and universities in Milan and in the US, has been published online in the arXiv archive pending publication in a scientific journal

The epidemiologist of the Bruno Kessler Foundation (FBK) Stefano Merler participated today, in video call from Trento, in the press conference of the Istituto Superiore di Sanità (ISS).

The FBK epidemiologist spoke at today's press conference of the Istituto Superiore di Sanità illustrating the Rt value of the Italian regions. For the province of Trento the average value is 0.44

A few days after the application of the measures to contrast Sars-Cov-2, the reproducibility index of the virus decreased both in Lombardy and in other regions

The outbreak in Italy started long before February 20 and aggressive containment strategies are needed to control the spread of Covid-19 and avoid catastrophic outcomes for the national health system.

There is no scientifically valid information on the epidemic, now global, to help fight its spread, which could also soon affect our country

The amount and complexity of information processed by the human brain at any given moment is huge and varies extremely from one individual to another. Understanding the anatomical structure and functional mechanisms of information processing that occur between the different brain circuits is one of the greatest challenges for research in clinical neuroscience of the third millennium

The new project of the FBK School-to-Work Program that will involve five high schools in applied research in health has ebeen launched

According to a study to which also FBK researchers contributed, parental vaccination can help contain the spread of measles in Italy

Research conducted on 450 individuals in Tomsk (Russia) revealed how interrupting school activities affect limiting influenza cases

Fondazione Bruno Kessler and Fondazione Edmund Mach against the spread of alien species

The prestigious scientific journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) has published the article "Measurability of the epidemic reproduction number in data-driven contact networks". FBK researchers Stefano Merler and Marco Ajelli are among the authors

The prestigious scientific journal Nature Communications published the paper "Quantifying the spatial spread of dengue in a non-endemic Brazilian metropolis via transmission chain reconstruction". Among the authors, the FBK researchers Giorgio Guzzetta and Stefano Merler
