The Computational Genomic Lab focuses in particular on the development and usage of bioinformatics pipelines, data integration and harmonization, tools, methods and databases for large-scale functional genomics data analysis.
The focus of the Prion Biology Laboratory is studying prion diseases, rare and fatal neurodegenerative maladies that affect humans and animals for which there is no diagnostic tool, nor a cure. Referent: Prof. Giuseppe Legname
A combination of molecular, cellular, integrative, and computational methods to investigate the nervous system: the Neurobiology Sector offers a complete research approach to understand the brain mechanisms and functions. Such laboratories offer advanced tools for physiological research, DNA sequence analyzer, and molecular biology instrumentation. Referent: Prof. Paul Alexander Heppenstall
Centre of excellence interested in molecular mechanisms specifying embryonic cortico-cerebral precursors and regulating their proliferation-differentiation profile. Referent: Prof. Antonello Mallamaci
Dr. Carmen Falcone's laboratory is focussed on researching the functions of astrocytes across evolution and the development of the cerebral cortex in mammals.
