Awards to the lab
2022 Eastern Analytical Symposium Young Investigator Award
Simone receives the 2022 Eastern Analytical Symposium Young Investigator Award. The symposium takes place every year in New Jersey, and Simone will participate as invited speaker.
Einstein-Montefiore SARS-CoV-2 microgrants
Einstein-Montefiore sponsors the lab for a SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) research project. We will use this funding to investigate the potential of exhaled breath condensate in infection diagnostics.
NAM Healthy Longevity Grand Challenge Catalyst award
The Japan Agency for Medical Research and Development has kindly awarded to the labs of Sidoli, Arioka and Basu new funding to continue their project in epigenetics and mental disorder. The project aims to improve healthspan and lifespan of patients affected by schizophrenia and related conditions.
Einstein Nathan Shock Center of Excellence
Thank you to the Einstein Nathan Shock Center of Excellence for supporting us with funding for aging research! The Sidoli lab received funding to study a specific protein modification on the chromatin of centenarians.
Interstellar initiative
The New York Academy of Sciences (NYAS) and the Japan Agency for Medical Research and Development (AMED) developed a platform for the world’s most promising Early Career Investigators to connect with peers. Simone has been selected to participate to their 2019-2020 workshop, where significant funding is provided to the teams for establishing collaborations.
Umberto Mortari award
Merck/MSD and Fortune Italia sponsor an award for one Italian scientist <40 who has returned to Italy and one who has remained abroad and runs successful science outside of Italy. The first recipients of these two awards are Velia Siciliano (IIT) and Simone Sidoli, respectively. A special thank you goes to Alfonso Bellacosa (Fox Chase Cancer Center) for proposing Simone’s candidacy.
Collaborative grants
A special thank you to our collaborators who share with us part of their funding to work together towards completing these important research programs!
