Elena Cattaneo, head of the Laboratory of Stem Cell Biology and Pharmacology of Neurodegenerative Diseases of the Department of Bioscience, has been awarded with an ERC Advanced Grant. The project focuses on the generation of an experimental cell platform aimed at discovering the genetic factors involved in the elongation of the CAG repeated sequence in the gene which leads to Huntington's disease, a hereditary neurodegenerative disorder

In the frame of the internationalization project of the University of Milan, the Department of Biosciences is pleased to welcome a group of 42 Biology students accompanied by three professors from the University of Leiden. The students will be involved in a rich program to get to know the educational and research activities of the Department of Biosciences and will be visiting the Botanical Garden Città Studi.
