The BioSNS Lab
The scientific focus of research at BioSNS is the study of the brain, investigating aspects of brain function and mechanisms during development, in the adult and in ageing.
The research at the SNS Laboratory of Biology (BioSNS follows two main directions: the main scientific focus is on Neurobiology and Neurosciences (which remain an area of great strength and tradition at SNS), and the continuity with the past strong research record in visual neurosciences, is complemented and integrated by new scientific programs investigating the molecular and cellular basis of neural development and stem cell biology, neurodegeneration and ageing.
