Biotechnology for Neuroscience

Il corso in breve

The Neuroscience field is experiencing amazing developments, characterized by a progressive expansion of conceptual approaches, scientific tools, clinical and technological applications. Over the past two decades, this sector has extended its boundaries far beyond biomedical sciences, incorporating knowledge and tools not only from physics, mathematics, computer science and engineering, but also from humanities and social sciences. The growing integration between Neuroscience and other scientific sectors is delivering great clinical, economic and social impacts, stimulating the transfer of basic knowledge to different applications. These include new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, increasingly better tools for the study of the nervous system in physiological and pathological conditions as well as powerful approaches for examining and manipulating neural circuits.
