Matteo
Bruzzone

Postdoctoral fellow at University of Padova
Italy Website
OrcID
Gender : Man
Fields of research :
Behavioral neuroscience
Circuit neuroscience
Neuroethology
Analysis of behavior and cognition in non-human animal
Computation, modeling, and simulation
Data analysis and statistics
Imaging (microscopy)
Optical methods
Species : invertebrate
Species : vertebrate
I joined ALBA because :
I strongly support making science openly accessible to all and ensuring equal opportunities for everyone. Interdisciplinary lies at the core of neuroscience, with problems addressed using approaches from various scientific fields. Similarly, a more inclusive and diverse environment will foster new ideas and nurture creative collaborations.
