Erika Ponzini presented a poster entitled ” Mass spectrometry-based proteomics of human tears for noninvasive biomarker discovery and precision medicine” at Young Biochemists in Lombardy, a meeting supported by the Società italiana di biochimica e biologia molecolare on June 20 in Milano.
Erika Ponzini‘s abstract entitled “Mass spectrometry-based proteomics of human tears for noninvasive biomarker discovery and precision medicine” has been selected by the organizing committee for an oral communication at Giovani e Spettrometria di massa, a meeting organized by the Italian Society of Mass Spectrometry (IMaSS) on June 15 in Torino.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Riccardo Galli, a professional graphic designer, for designing our brand new logo.
Thank you, Riccardo!
Prof. Adele Sassella, director of the bachelor degree in Optics and Optometry, has been interviewed by b2eyes about Visionaries: life leads where the eyes look, an exibition organized by University of Milano -Bicocca that displays works by the artist Square.
On Saturday May 14th 2022, COMiB took part in “Grow MI Inclusive” a Special Olympics initiative organized at the Bicocca Stadium, where athletes and their families had the chance to get a free screening to test visual defects and vision system functionality. Thanks to the organizers and to the optometrists Giulia Carlotta Rizzo, Arianna Dell’Oro, Giovanni Trevisan, and Riccardo Rolandi for the 40 exams provided!

The University of Milan-Bicocca establishes, with the sponsorship of the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, the Young Talents Award intended for researchers under 36 years. The Young Talents Award is a multidisciplinary award aims to recognize the quality, originality and impact of the scientific production of researchers and encourage their training through international mobility actions.
In 2020, Erika Ponzini, who holds a type A Research Grant, won the 3rd prize for her interesting research activities for characterization of aerogels of galactomannans extracted from leguminous plants.
In 2021, she won the 3rd prize for her studies on human tear proteins by advanced mass spectrometry techniques and on the characterization of aerogels potentially useful for therapy.
