Supervisor of their PhD is Prof. Daniela Perani, Full Professor (permanent position) of Neuroscience and Head of the “In vivo Human Molecular and Structural Neuroimaging” Unit, Neuroscience Division, San Raffaele Hospital.

Their research, “FDG-PET metabolic connectome in the spectrum of synucleinopathies”, after a careful examination for the international scientific committee, won the sought-after “2017 ECCN Award”.
Dr. Caminiti and Sala declared: “Participating to this Conference gave us the opportunity to show our results and to compare us to illustrious personalities of international scientific panorama in the fields of neuroimaging and neurodegenerative diseases. Despite an initial tension, given the presence of worldwide experts, our presentation was a huge success, making us very proud of our results and of the work done!”.

Congratulations to our Silvia and Arianna!
