After clarifying the research carried out at companies compared to those at universities, let us move on to the project. Structurally organized by Spokes and a Hub, such as those found on a bike wheel, the project follows ten different research areas divided into Vertical and Horizontal subgroups. Vertical Spokes seek to identify WHAT research will take place, while Horizontal Spokes focus on HOW to exploit the findings that emerge from the Vertical Spokes. Each Spoke collaborates with affiliated bodies that work on the research project dictated by the relevant Spoke. With many affiliated bodies, the numbers vary from Spoke to Spoke. For each Spoke leader, the number of affiliates falls between a minimum of seven and a maximum of 15.
Determined to advance knowledge on gene therapy and RNA technology, the Italian National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) allocated funding for the collaboration of a series of public and private bodies working towards the same objective but with different methods and different visions. This undertaking offers strength in unity and will bring together various skills and competencies, which will lead to something great.
The goal is to merge the brightest minds, each with different academic and professional backgrounds, to improve the quality of life of others.
