ABOUT PAOLO MASSOBRIO

From 1st October 2019 I am Associate Professor of Bioengineering at the Department of Informatics, Bioengineering, Robotics and Systems Engineering (DIBRIS) at the University of Genova, where I teach courses of Computational Neuroscience for undergraduate students and PhD students of Bioengineering. From 20••••19 I was Assistant Professor of Bioengineering at the University of Genova. From 20••••14, I have had a post doc position at the Neuroengineering and Bio-nano Technology Group (NBT) of the Department of Biophysical and Electronic Engineering (DIBE) of the University of Genova (Italy). I was trained as a Biomedical Engineer, and I received my 5 years laurea-degree cum laude from the University of Genova in 2004. In 2008 I got my PhD in Bioengineering and Bioelectronics with a thesis entitled “In vitro neuronal networks: computational models and synaptic plasticity studies”. Settori di competenza: I developed a strong interest in the field of the Computational Neuroscience and Neuroengineering. My research activities deal with the development of MEA-based brain-on-a-chip to investigate, with the support of computational models, the spontaneous and stimulus-evoked dynamics originating by the interaction of 2D and 3D heterogeneous neuronal populations.
