On 18th June 2009, in Sala Bracco at Palazzo Serbelloni in Milan, the Italian association ITWIIN (http://www.itwiin.it/) and the California non-profit association Bridges To Italy (http://www.bridgestoitaly.org/) joined forces to present "The Premio Award, Honoring Italian Women Scientists in America". This special award was created to foster creativity, experience and the role of women in the field of innovation. More specifically, its purpose is to honor the best Italian women scientists in North America (USA, Canada and Mexico) who have at least a patent in one or more of the following fields: Life Sciences, Nanotechnology and/or Alternative Energy/Environment.
This initiative is aimed at offering international visibility to the best Italian brains in North America and also at creating new opportunities to work with the Italian scientific world, especially in the tech-transfer field.
The first edition of the award was assigned to Dr. Alessandra Luchini, a Research Assistant Professor opereating in the group of Dr. Lance Liotta at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. Her project concerns the use of nanotechnology in the clinic diagnosis, more specifically the use of core-shell nanoparticles that are able to capture biomarkers of tumors, of infective or degenerative diseases, of cardiopathies, etc. in body fluids and thus to produce very effective results in the early diagnosis of such diseases.
This is a video interview by Francesca Golini of Liquida right after the award ceremony in Milan and the related round table entitled "Women and innovation: stories, initiatives, prospectives", which the winner could enrich with her personal experience.
