University of Milano Bicocca
Physiology
Workplace: Physiology Unit, School of Medicine, University of Milano-Bicocca, Monza, Milano, Italy.
The main research areas of our group are:
The research group is currently engaged in scientific collaborative research projects for studying the targeting properties and the biocompatibility of new developed nanotechnology-based systems for joint diagnosis and therapy in nanomedicine as well as investigating the role of the NVU dysfunction in neurodegenerative diseases. Various environmental factors, together with the individual genetic predispositions, confer an increased risk for neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders, as well as neurodegenerative diseases that include autism spectrum disorders, schizophrenia, major depressive disorder, and Alzheimer's disease, across life. These environmental challenges can compromise NVU and microglial physiological functions, resulting notably in defective neuronal circuit wiring, altered brain functional connectivity, and the onset of behavioral deficits into adolescence, adulthood, and aging.
Experimental platforms/techniques you will learn during your program here:

This program allows Merit Applications. If you successfully are awarded a merit application - Trialect will take care of all bench and service fees, but you will have to take care of travel and accommodation. All applications will be scrutinized under the merit category. Considering 50 million health professionals around the world, the chances of getting selected under the merit category would be very low.
