Publications

Scientific publications represent the heart of HEAL ITALIA‘s research.
Every paper tells the story of a discovery, an innovation, a step forward towards Precision Medicine accessible to all. The results are organised by Spoke, the eight thematic strands of the project: from the identification of biomarkers to innovative therapies, from early diagnosis to AI-supported clinical validation.
