ROMA (ITALPRESS) – A research that does not stop at the laboratories, but is transformed every day into new possibilities for diagnosis and care. This is where the 5×1000 campaign of the Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Campus Bio-Medico “It is more than health research, it is to grow the cure”. With more than 750 ongoing clinical studies and more than 8,000 patients involved, Foundation research aims to bring innovation results directly to clinical practice and to develop increasingly personalized and effective therapies for the benefit of people. To make it possible is the daily work of doctors, nurses, researchers and health professionals, but also the concrete contribution of those who choose to support the Foundation through the 5×1000 and other fundraising campaigns activated in this sense.
The Bio-Medium Polyclinic Campus has more than 60 research units and 10 laboratories, with more than 750 active clinical studies – almost 70% of which are non-profit – and over 8,000 patients involved. In 2025, moreover, the Foundation published more than 1,000 articles, with an Impact Factor Normalized (IFN) that now accounts for 5,000, testifying to a scientific production stably placed in the bands with high citational impact compared to the standard reference parameters.
Among the most advanced areas is the orthopaedics, which counts more than 270 publications only in the last year, among the flagship flowers of the Foundation engaged in this phase in the path of accreditation such as IRCCS (Institute of Recognition and Care in Scientific Character) in the discipline of pathologies of the locomotor apparatus. Research in this area includes a wide range of diseases addressed through approaches ranging from reconstructive surgery to regenerative medicine and advanced cell therapies. In addition to orthopaedics, the priority areas of the Foundation’s research include oncology, cardiology, neurology, endocrinology, geriatrics and immunohumanology, with transversal development lines such as Digital Health, Artificial Intelligence, robotic technologies and wearable devices, movement analysis, medical genetics and regenerative medicine.
“Research is one of the highest expressions of our mission: putting science at the service of the person,” said Carlo Tosti Foundation president. “For our University Polyclinic means looking at the present and the future together: offering answers to today’s patients and working so that tomorrow’s patients can count on increasingly effective diagnosis and therapies. In this perspective, research support through the 5×1000 takes on the value of a collective heritage, which goes beyond the single project and generates benefits that extend to the whole community.”.
“Health research is a strategic lever for the development of our Polyclinic and for the quality of the care we offer,” said the CEO and General Director of the Polyclinic Campus Bio-Medico Paolo Sormani, who then continued: “We focus on technological innovation, with the use of robotic surgery and artificial intelligence in clinical paths, which is accompanied by a constant commitment to make care increasingly accessible. In this sense, the 5×1000 is an essential tool for strengthening the research of our Polyclinic and to ensure that the projects are transformed as quickly as possible into concrete solutions for patients.” “ Clinical research is a fundamental axis of a university polyclinic like ours, because it allows us to broaden the available knowledge and to open new possibilities of treatment”, commented the Scientific Director of the Fondazione Vincenzo Denaro. For Professor Denaro, “the priority remains to effectively improve the health of people through scientific progress: every day we see how important it is to bring in lane what is born in laboratories, in particular for those pathologies still devoid of effective therapeutic options. In our Polyclinic we also do so thanks to the work of multidisciplinary teams and to the integration of different skills, with the shared goal of developing increasingly tailored solutions for the benefit of patients”.
The campaign 5×1000 The Foundation’s campaign is divided into images that connect laboratory work with everyday life, representing fragments of relationships and care gestures within research processes, such as hug, dance or game. A visual account that concretely expresses the link between research and assistance and which shows how the progress of medicine can be translated immediately into rapid perspectives of care for the benefit of patients.
