Homepage - Giorgio Brunelli Foundation - Research on Spinal Cord

A translation science journal

After many years of multidisciplinary neuroscientific research all over the world, at last the work on "the new aspects of central plasticity concepts for human reconstructive surgery in spinal cord lesions", was published on the Journal of Neurology & Neurophysiology.

The Giorgio Brunelli Foundation wishes to thank all the esteemed colleagues for the great result obtained, in particular prof. Klaus von Wild who, together with prof. Rita Levi Montalcini, has believed from the start in this research.

Crowdfunding initiative

Dear Friends,
Research is based fundamentally on the possibility to share the results obtained in order to Improve the quality of life of the people.
This is what our 10th Symposium in October 2018 would like to be about.
Therefore, dear colleagues and friends of the Foundation Giorgio Brunelli we shall launch at the end of February a Crowfunding initiative using the website www.retedeldono.com to allow everyone to access the Symposium both traditionally and multi-medially, using state-of-the-art tools.
It is a complex challenge which requires new resources so as to have the Best with us.
We ask you to support the Foundation once again.
Send your availability to be with us in this new project of scientific information and innovative communication to

THE NEW ERA OF MEDICINE

The new Era of personalised medicine was born as a reaction to the “One size fits All” Medicine that treated in the same way different illnesses and patients with failures and adverse reactions to drugs. As there is not one shoe that fits all feet and not one size that fits us all, we need individual shoes – medicine.
The revolution moved in three steps and it began in the 1930s with the era of incidental discoveries such as aspirin and penicillin – medicine that helped without researchers knowing how and why they worked. The second revolution started in the 1970s with new experimental methods and systematic screenings to finding chemical cures. The last step began in the early 2000s with the end of the human genome project and is now localizing medicine to a personal level.
Today Medicine uses new approaches to better manage patients’ health and target therapies to achieve the best outcomes in the management of a patient’s disease or predisposition to disease.
The disease is treated in the context of the patient, that is a world of proteins, of emotions, a family one.
Since the first sequencing of the human genome in 2000 ( at the cost of 1 billion dollars each) only 16 years have passed, and today we can have the genome of a person in a few hours and with a few hundred dollars, with a more precise profile of a person and a better treatment.

HEALTH IN THE CITY HALL
THE PROJECT “HEALTH IN THE CITY HALL”, DESIGNED TO INFORM, TRAIN AND SPREAD ABOUT CURRENT ISSUES RELATED TO THE HEALTH OF THE PEOPLE, IS AT ITS SECOND EDITION.

The Foundation Giorgio Brunelli, with the unconditional support of the Municipality of Brescia, has planned in 2018 a series of conferences dedicated to the in-depth analysis of socio-medical issues covering health, frontier research, environment, technological breakthroughs and technological transfers in order to keep always alive the interest of the people in the numerous problems affecting the psychophysical health of the most fragile people among us; that is the elderly and those suffering from different forms of disability and social discomfort.

The meetings, which will be held at the City Hall in Brescia, are aimed at the public as well as the scientific journalists registered in the national roll. The conferences will be filmed and uploaded to youtube.

AIMS OF THE PROJECT
To inform, train, spread and raise awareness of the issues related to the different forms of physical and psychic discomfort including the people affected by motor and sensitive disability and those, more and more frequent, suffering from chronic diseases.

Rita and the Young Researchers
There are predestined meetings in life, those which sooner or later will happen because it is written in the stars.
