Il Gomitolo AtomicoChe cosa può insegnarci l'arte sul mondo e su di noi? | Rosalind KraussChe cosa può insegnarci l’arte sul mondo e su noi stessi? In che modo guardare un’opera può trasformare il modo in cui pensiamo, sentiamo e comprendiamo la realtà?In questa puntata speciale del Gomitolo Atomico, incontriamo una delle figure più influenti della critica d’arte contemporanea, che ha dedicato la vita a smontare le nostre certezze sull’arte moderna e a ricostruire gli strumenti con cui la comprendiamo. Si tratta di Rosalind Krauss, docente alla Columbia University e tra le più importanti teoriche dell’arte viventi. Il suo lavoro ha messo in crisi il mito del genio isolato...
2026-02-0235 minIl Gomitolo AtomicoLa rivoluzione delle cellule anticancro | con Carl JuneChe cosa significa davvero “curare” una malattia che nasce da noi stessi? Il cancro, che trasforma le nostre cellule in avversarie, resta una delle sfide più grandi della medicina moderna. Eppure qualcuno ha provato a capovolgere la logica del nemico, chiedendosi: e se la cura fosse già dentro di noi, in attesa solo di essere istruita?In questa puntata speciale del Gomitolo Atomico, incontriamo Carl June, immunologo dell’Università della Pennsylvania e tra i pionieri dell’immunoterapia cellulare. Con il suo gruppo di ricerca ha ideato la terapia CAR-T, un trattamento che “educa” le cellule del paziente a riconoscere e distruggere q...
2026-01-0553 minIl Gomitolo AtomicoLe democrazie stanno morendo? | con Josiah OberLe democrazie sono davvero in pericolo? Che cosa può insegnarci il passato della democrazia sul futuro? In che modo le città-stato greche possono rappresentare una lente per riflettere sul potere, la cittadinanza e la fragilità dei governi attuali? In questa puntata speciale del Gomitolo Atomico, incontriamo uno dei massimi esperti di questi temi: Josiah Ober, docente di Scienze Politiche e Classiche a Stanford e vincitore del Premio Internazionale Balzan 2025. A introdurlo è Christoph Riedweg, docente di Filologia classica presso la Facoltà di Filosofia dell'Università di Zurigo, oltre che componente del Comitato Generale dei Premi Balzan. Nella nostra conversazione con il Prof...
2025-12-0154 minIl Gomitolo AtomicoLa conoscenza è il nostro futuro | con Maria Cristina MessaChe cosa significa oggi investire davvero nella conoscenza? Con la Presidente della Fondazione Balzan, ed ex Ministra dell’Università e della Ricerca, Maria Cristina Messa, parliamo del ruolo cruciale della scienza, dell’università e della cultura come motore di progresso e di libertà. Dalle sfide della ricerca italiana al futuro dell’intelligenza artificiale, un viaggio appassionante tra politica, etica e curiosità scientifica. E, anche insieme alla giurista Marta Cartabia e all'immunologo Alberto Mantovani, scopriremo come la ricerca e i grandi premi possano sostenere la crescita della cultura e della comunità scientifica.Inizia con questo episodio una nuova serie...

about enzymes & molecules#7 - PARCC - Dr. Alain TedguiIn the second episode of our Special Interviews Series with Institute Directors we invited Dr Alain Tedgui, former Director of the Paris-Centre de Recherche Cardiovasculaire (PARCC, 2009-2018). Dr Tedgui gave us a wonderful overview of the strategies behind the founding of PARRC as a major French scientific institute dedicated to study cardiovascular disease as well as the original plans that were initiated in the 70s for the realization of this novel Institution. Dr Tedgui also explained to us his life and professional journey, coming to France from Algeria as a young boy and progressing to become a highly recognized...

2025-01-1401 minabout enzymes & molecules#6 - How Noise Affects Your Health - Dr. Andreas Daiber
The topic of our discussion today is environmental stress and how it affects our susceptibility to develop diseases. We are familiar with the danger of air pollution, which increases lung disease and is being implicated in neurodegeneration or cardiovascular disorders, but we often do not consider noise, which is a very important external stressor. We are surrounded by noise, especially in the urban space: cars, public transport, construction works etc. are all a continuous source of noise. How does noise impact our health?

2024-10-112h 56about enzymes & molecules#5 - Institut Cochin - Dr Florence Niedergang
This is the first episode of our Special Interviews Series with Institute Directors, where we discuss the opportunities and challenges that come with being in charge of a research institute. The expertise required for this job is multi-varied: the director needs to develop ambitious research goals by relying on their teams' skills and scientific interests, leveraging the input of technical platforms at the service of science, coordinate the administrative support and constructively work with supervising bodies. This is no easy task: directors often have to learn on the job, as in their "former" life they were originally "only" scientists!

2024-09-0226 minabout enzymes & molecules#4 - NRF2 - Dr. Albena Dinkova-Kostova
For our fourth episode we will talk about a special system that is very important for protecting the organism against stress: the NRF2 transcription factor.
It is the master regulator of the stress response, which is responsible for increasing the expression of a long list of genes that help to combat stress and restore cellular homeostasis. Interestingly, NRF2 is activated by stressful stimuli but also by plant-derived natural compounds, showing how nature has evolved to harness the power of plants to provide benefits for our body. In opposition to its fundamental role in protection, NRF2 also has a dark...
2024-03-1445 minabout enzymes & molecules#3 - The Heme Dichotomy - Dr. Francesca VinchiIn the 3rd episode of this series, Dr Vinchi and I will talk about different facets of heme biology, why heme is crucial in normal physiology and why it exerts a deleterious action when it is not tightly bound to a protein.
We will further examine the modulatory role of heme in diseases characterized by excessive free heme in circulation and how endothelial cells in vessels and specific immune cells, called macrophages, adapt their function in response to heme.
We hope you will enjoy our conversation with Dr Vinchi and learn more about the heme...
2024-02-0456 minabout enzymes & molecules#2 - Bilirubin - Dr. Roland StockerIn the second episode of our podcast 'about enzymes & molecules', we welcome Dr Roland Stocker to talk about bilirubin, the antioxidant molecule produced during heme breakdown by heme oxygenase.
Dr Stocker will tell us about the inspiration that led to hypothesize that bilirubin possesses antioxidant properties, the thorough methodological approaches that were required to precisely demonstrate this effect, and how bilirubin can protect cellular membranes, albumin, lipoproteins and other cellular structures from the damage caused by free radicals. We will also discuss the epidemiological studies that support an important role for bilirubin in mitigating cardiovascular disease and diabetes complications...

2023-09-1203 minabout enzymes & molecules#1 - Heme Oxygenase & Carbon Monoxide - Dr. Leo Otterbein
Welcome to the first episode of the science podcast about enzymes & molecules.
Today we welcome our first guest, Leo Otterbein, PhD, Professor of Surgery and principal investigator of the Otterbein Lab at Harvard Medical School in Boston, USA.
Dr. Otterbein has published fundamental findings on heme oxygenase and its product, carbon monoxide, establishing the crucial role of this system in inflammation. One of the primary goals of the Otterbein Lab is to study the benefit of carbon monoxide in low doses to help against organ injury, for example in the heart, kidney or lungs, trying to understand the mechanisms...
