The Francesca Martini Award for an experimental degree thesis in oncohematology stems from the idea of supporting young graduates of value who wish to pursue their career in research and encourage them to access the PhD program. The awarding of the prize is bound to the admission of the recipient to a PhD course in the field of oncohematology.
Armando Felsani, an internationally renowned researcher in the field of molecular biology and genomics, passed away on April 21, 2022. In his memory, his family and friends – who share NAnA’s aims and intentions – have chosen to fund this Award.
