About us

The team from the EMBL Epigenetics and Neurobiology Unit, brings together epigeneticists and neurobiologists, but also administrative staff, to explore the connections between genome, environment and neural function. We set up this blog to share our enthusiasm and passion for what we do, but also to trigger discussion on various topics beyond the lab.

If you’d like to read more about who we are, check our Welcome post.

Stay tuned for what’s coming next…

Changes ahead!

A lot of changes have taken place at EMBL’s Epigenetics and Neurobiology unit in Italy recently. The main one is that we decided to focus our research on two main themes: epigenetics and neurobiology, and have adapted our name accordingly. In the close future we’ll also refurbish our facilities to make sure that we continue doing the best science.
