Perché un Centro di Tecnologie per la Salute?
Il CHT sfrutta l’unicità del contesto pavese in Lombardia e la sua peculiarità nel panoramo italiano.
L’università di Pavia è l’unica università lombarda con dipartimenti e facoltà nelle aree di medicina,
biologia, farmacologia, ingegneria, scienze matematiche, fisiche e chimiche.
Inoltre a Pavia hanno sede tre centri di eccellenza di ricerca clinica (IRCCS), situati nelle immediate
vicinanze del campus universitario (nel raggio di un chilometro), che collaborano con I dipartimenti
universitari. Questo rende Pavia un ambiente “naturale” per promuovere la progettazione,
l’implementazione e la sperimentazione clinica di tecnologie innovative nel campo della salute, dai
biomateriali ai farmaci personalizzati, dalla bioinformatica alla biologia sintetica, dall’ingegneria dei tessuti
alla telemedicina.
