March 20, 2026, at the Cittadella Universitaria in Monserrato (Cagliari), marked the presentation of “Sardegna Proattiva,” the first stop dedicated to cancer prevention within the campaign “Heal Italia for technology transfer in Precision Medicine,” which will run for more than six months, with stages across Italy and abroad.
The roadshow is a series of meetings, seminars, and events through which Fondazione HEAL Italia brings research and innovation in precision medicine throughout the country, with scheduled stops until September 2026 and an international outlook.
A campaign starting from Sardinia
The Cagliari event was born from the collaboration between the University of Cagliari and Fondazione HEAL Italia, with the aim of strengthening prevention and early diagnosis activities through a genomic approach, developing personalized screening pathways based on patients’ individual characteristics. The association “Mai Più Sole,” long committed to supporting cancer patients and promoting a culture of participatory prevention, is also involved in the project.
The day opened with remarks from the Vice-Rector for Research at the University of Cagliari, Luciano Colombo, who outlined the foundations of the partnership between the University and HEAL Italia. Professor Sabrina Giglio then presented the oncological screening plan in detail. The proceedings concluded with an address by Laura Leonardis, General Manager of Fondazione HEAL Italia, who explored the Foundation’s contribution in terms of technological innovation and research.
The Roadshow continues across Italy
Cagliari is only the starting point. In the coming months, the HEAL Italia Roadshow will reach other Italian cities, with a program that includes presentations, roundtables, and opportunities for dialogue among researchers, clinicians, and companies. The goal is to bring precision medicine out of laboratories, making it accessible to institutions, healthcare professionals, and citizens, with particular attention to predicting and preventing cancer risk.
Starting from late April 2026, the Roadshow stages will be accompanied by the national media campaign “Medicine is not for everyone, but it is for each person,” through which Fondazione HEAL Italia aims to bring the themes of precision medicine to a broader audience—from healthcare professionals to the general public.
