Biography
Andrea Nistri is Full professor of Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology at SISSA since 1997. In 1975 he became Assistant Professor of Pharmacology at the University of Florence. From 1977 to 1979 he was Visiting Professor of Applied Human Physiology at Concordia University, Montreal, Canada. From 1977 to 1979 he was Medical Research Council Fellow at McGill University, Montreal, Canada. From 1987 to 1992 he was reader in Pharmacology at Queen Mary Westfield College, University of London and at St. Bartholomew's Hospital Medical College, University of London. From 1994 to 1997 Andrea Nistri was Full professor of Pharmacology at University of Pavia. From 1997 to 2000 he was Head of the Biophysics Sector at SISSA. His main research interests are integration of signals at the level of single neurons, functional mechanisms of neural networks in the spinal cord, modulation of neurotransmitter receptors related to pain mechanisms.
