A handful of days ago British company Tiziana Life acquired some very important Italian stuff: genes.
Let me explain you better: Tiziana Life bought a genetic databank containing DNA samples of 13.000 inhabitants of the Ogliastra region, in the South East of breathtaking Sardinia. The databank is considered of enormous scientific interest because Ogliastra people are among the most longevous in the world.
A British company with an Italo-American heart
Even though it largely operates in the UK, Tiziana Life is the brainchild of 40 year old Italo-American entrepreneur Gabriele Cerrone, who today also acts as its CEO. The company dedicates most of its efforts to oncological and immunological research and has already reached some notable results, including a possible alternative to chemotherapy for the treatment of liver cancer.
