One Health in Action: Biomedical Research at the Ri.MED Foundation

The Ri.MED Foundation, born from a strategic partnership between the Italian government, Regione Siciliana, National Research Council, the University of Pittsburgh, and UPMC (University of Pittsburgh Medical Center),  is a public-private partnership committed to advancing biomedical research and innovation, with a mission to foster the translation of scientific discoveries into clinical solutions that improve global health. The Ri.MED Foundation is currently leading an international center for translational biomedical research. This seminar will explore how the Ri.MED Research Center will embrace the One Health approach, recognizing the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health, to drive innovation in life sciences.  The Ri.MED Foundation hosts multidisciplinary teams dedicated to addressing complex health challenges through an integrated research model to engineer innovative biomedical solutions. This presentation will highlight key research initiatives and the Foundation’s role in shaping a more resilient, health-integrated future. During the seminar, a particular focus will be given to the Foundation’s Drug Discovery Group, which applies a lens to the identification and development of novel therapeutic candidates and the study of the chemical exposome effects on the human health.
