DE MARCHIS Silvia

Professor of Cell and Tissue Biology and Developmental Neurobiology

Institution: University of Turin, Italy

Laboratory/Department : Life Sciences and Systems Biology; Neuroscience Institute Cavalieri Ottolenghi (NICO)

Research topic: Adult neurogenesis in the mammalian brain (SVZ-olfactory bulb and DG of the hippocampus); study of the cellular/molecular mechanisms underlying specification/proliferation/differentiation of adult neural stem/progenitor cells.

Methodologies: morphological approaches (widefield and confocal microscopy), basic cell/molecular techniques, microsurgery (cell transplantation; viral tracing).
