The new multi-photon microscopy is now in place and running in our diffuse ParmaPhotonics lab!. Looking forward to work with it! 3D Calcium sparks and AP are there , waiting for us !!


We are excited that Giacomo and Ruben have both passed the selection for Start Cup Emilia Romagna and achieved the final competition. Ruben proposed "UMbioprint" a project related to create an artificial 3D printed patch capable to release, locally, immunosuppressive medication during transplant or cell therapy; Giacomo proposed "J.E.M.Tech" a project that take advantage of VikiE technology developed in the lab for monitoring cardiac mechanics during heart surgery, More details "here".

All the group is happy to collaborate in the Freshly funded ERC PoC (P.I. Prof Luca Bonini, www.boninilab.unipr.it). we will provide and test novel devices for wireless basic research on NHP behaviour. More details "here".

Amparo Guerrero Gerboles and Cristina Malvezzi got a fantastic achievements with this Publication on Alginate for Cardiac Regeneration. More information "here" !!!
