Biography
Christian Barbato, MD, is a researcher at the Institute of Cell Biology and Neurobiology, CNR, in Italy. He earned his PhD in neuroscience from the University of Rome Tor Vergata, Italy. His past work has focused on the characterization of cellular and molecular neurobiology of RNA-induced silencing complex and noncoding RNA in synaptic plasticity, learning, and memory. His recent research focuses on the function of microRNAs and their gene targets implicated in physiological and pathological processes of neurons.
Francesca Ruberti, PhD, is a researcher at the Institute of Cell Biology and Neurobiology, CNR, in Italy. He earned his PhD in biophysics from the International School of Advanced Studies, Trieste, Italy. His past research has focused on the role of nerve growth factor on specific neuronal populations of the central nervous system and on synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus, and on the molecular mechanisms involved in the cellular localization of specific neuronal proteins or messenger RNAs. His recent research focuses on the study of microRNAs and their gene targets implicated in physiological and pathological processes of neurons.
