Lamanna Jacopo Ricercatore tempo determinato tipo bPsychologyBIO/09 - Fisiologia

After graduating in Biomedical Engineering (MSc) at Politecnico di Milano in 2009, he obtained the PhD in Bioengineering at the same institution in 2013, with a thesis on the non-linear dynamics of synaptic transmission. Then he worked as a Post-doc Research Fellow in the Neurobiology of Learning Unit, Division of Neuroscience, San Raffaele Scientific Institute, where he applied in vitro and in vivo electrophysiology to study synaptic transmission and plasticity. He worked as Contract Professor of Physiology at the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery of Vita-Salute San Raffaele University. From 2016 he has been working as Assistant Professor of Physiology at the Faculty of Psychology of Vita-Salute San Raffaele University where he has been Professor and Coordinator of the course “Neurobiology of Learning and Memory” and “Elements of Anatomy and Physiology of the Nervous System”. In 2017 he received the NARSAD Young Investigator Grant (Brain and Behavior Research Foundation, New York, USA).
