Biography
Andrea Volterra started his initial work in the field of neuropsychopharmacology (mechanism of action of antidepressant and central analgesic drugs).As a post-doc at Columbia University with Steven Siegelbaum and Eric Kandel, he studied the ion channel modulation in memory paradigms in Aplysia with voltage- and patch-clamp techniques and Xenopus oocyte transfection system for expression-cloning of fast transient K+ channels.
Research Interest
