Research Interests
Neuronal plasticity in brain pathological conditions
Biography
Matteo Caleo is a Full Professor of Physiology at Dept. of Biomedical Sciences in Padua and Research Associate at CNR Neuroscience Institute in Pisa. He graduated cum laude in Biological Sciences at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa. He obtained his PhD in Neurobiology working with Lamberto Maffei on the role of neurotrophins in activity-dependent plasticity of the visual cortex. He has spent several years as a Research Scientist and then Director of Research at the CNR Neuroscience Institute in Pisa, where he studies plasticity of neuronal connections in pathological brain conditions. Since October 2018, he is Professor of Physiology at the Dept of Biomedical Sciences, where he is settting up his lab devoted to plasticity and recovery in stroke and brain tumors.
