Neuroengineering across scales: from neurons to brain

Research at the Neuroengineering Genoa Center is rooted in a long-standing tradition in neuroengineering, combining experimental and computational approaches to study brain function and dysfunction across multiple scales. Building on more than twenty years of activity within the Bioengineering community in Genoa, the Center develops technologies and models that link neuronal mechanisms, network dynamics, and brain-level activity.
Research activities are organized into complementary units spanning biomaterials and nanotechnologies, hiPSC-derived brain-on-a-chip platforms, computational neuroengineering, and translational neurotechnologies. Experimental models are tightly integrated with electrophysiology, brain imaging, and data-driven methods to address clinically relevant questions. Close interaction with clinical partners enables a continuous feedback loop, supporting precision and personalized approaches and fostering a direct translation from clinic to research and back to the clinic.
