Carini, September, 9th 2024
From 5 to 8 September 2024 the annual Park Art Fest (PAF) organized by the association Almoad took place in the city park of Carini. The Ri.MED Foundation has contributed with a workshop for children and children. On 5 September 2024, researchers Anna Paola Carreca and Giovanna Frazziano accompanied the young participants into the world of molecular biology: reconstructing the steps that lead from genetic information to the creation of a protein, the public has experienced how a small change in genetic information can lead to very impactful diseases. The Read My DNA lab focused on sickle cell disease, a disease caused by a mutation in DNA that results in the production of deformed red blood cells.
The participation of RiMED at the event underlines the link between the foundation and the territory in which our research center is being built.
