Alessio Branchini Shares His Latest Work on Albumin-Fused Factor IX Variants and Thanks The Whole Team
Alessio Branchini, Associate Professor of Molecular Biology at University of Ferrara, shared on LinkedIn:
”Very proud to announce that our paper is published!
Great and hard, but exciting, work on the characterization and biodistribution of engineered albumin-fused factor IX variants with tailored biinding to extravascular collagen.
Wonderful collaborations involving our group at the University of Ferrara, the team at the University of Oslo and the San Raffaele Hospital.
From the University of Ferrara side, excellent work by Maria Francesca Testa, Rebecca Tarantino and Mascia Benedusi.
Very thankful to Jan Terje Andersen, Kristin Hovden Aaen and Jeannette Nilsen (University of Oslo for the wonderful and ongoing collaboration (10 years!), to Alessio Cantore and Cesare Canepari (Ospedale San Raffaele) for their extremely valuable contribution, as well as to all collaborators.
Together we made this story possible.
Of course, a particular thank you to my (and our) mentors Francesco Bernardi and Mirko Pinotti at the University of Ferrara.
Last but not least, I am really grateful to the Access to Insight Basic Research Grant program by Novo Nordisk.
Press releases on Eurekalert and on the news site of University of Ferrara.”
