Marco Mainardi graduated in Molecular Biology at University of Pisa and receiving an Honors degree from Scuola Normale Superiore,and he completed his studies with a PhD in Neurobiology.
His current scientific interests are
i. establishing a map of plasticity at the single-synapse level in response to behavioral stimuli that trigger learning and memory;
ii. defining the molecular fingerprint of synapses actively undergoing plasticity processes
iii. finding strategies to manipulate synaptic plasticity in a non-invasive manner
I am tackling these problems using a combination of electrophysiology, imaging and biochemistry, with the hope of translating the findings to pathological contexts in which synaptic plasticity and neural circuit function are altered, such as Alzheimer’s disease and autism spectrum disorders.
