Research Activities

The IGM Unit located in Bologna is distinguished by its ability to combine research of fundamental biological mechanisms with translational research. Five main research fields can be identified: 1) cell biology and pathology of the nucleus, 2) cell biology and pathology of the extracellular matrix, 3) cell biology and pathology of the neuro-transmitters, 4) cell biology of bone precursors and relation with biomaterials for orthopedic implant. The methodologies applied in research include: cell biology, biochemistry and molecular biology, immunolocalization and image analysis, ultrastructural analysis and study of molecules assembly.
