Manager/head of the team: Cristiano BERTOLUCCI

Team members: Tyrone LUCON Xiccato, Elena FRIGATO, Giulia MONTALBANO.

Research infrastructures:

Our laboratory has all equipments to perform a research program in animal chronobiology such as environmental rooms to maintain animals in controlled photo-thermoperiodic conditions, set ups to record behavioural activity (Noldus DanioVision and Ethovision), and facilities for animal breeding and reproduction. Furthermore, we have fully equipped laboratories for molecular biology, cell culture, and microscopy to investigate the molecular circadian clock mechanism..
