Bert Blaauw Bert Blaauw is a scientist at VIMM, and he studies how to keep muscles healthy and strong to prevent muscle loss associated with aging, cancer, and other diseases.
Alessandro Carrer Alessandro Carrer is a scientist at VIMM, and he studies how changes in cellular metabolism can promote the onset and growth of tumors, particularly in the pancreas.
Francesco Chemello Francesco Chemello is a scientist at the Veneto Institute of Molecular Medicine (VIMM), where he studies how to correct genetic defects that cause muscle diseases, such as dystrophies and certain heart disorders.
Maurizio Corbetta Maurizio Corbetta is a neurologist and scientist at VIMM. He studies how the brain reorganizes itself after a stroke to help people regain movement and function.
Nicola Elvassore Direttore Scientifico VIMM Nicola Elvassore is the Scientific Director and a scientist at VIMM. He focuses on innovative technologies to create tissues and organs in the laboratory and to develop personalized treatments for patients through the use of stem cells.
Cecilia Laterza Cecilia Laterza is a scientist at the Veneto Institute of Molecular Medicine (VIMM), where she studies how to repair the brain after injury or disease using stem cells and advanced technologies to reconstruct tissues.
