Biography
Doctor, Pharmacotherapeutic Practitioner He has performed his research activity, focusing on the functioning of nerve cells and communication between neurons, first at the Department of Biophysics at Rockefeller University in New York, then at the CNR Cell Pharmacology Center and at the San Raffaele's Dibit in Milan. Since 2001 he is a professor of physiology at the University of Insubria, at the headquarters of Busto Arsizio. He is part of the Neuroscience Center of the University of Insubria and of the Bioinformatics Research Center of the University of Insubria
Research Interest
The research activity is focused on the study of synaptic transmission. He has worked with ultrastructural investigation techniques (particularly "quick freezing" and "freeze fracture"), and especially electrophysiological activity of synaptic activity.
