Veronica Krenn
Principal Investigator
E-mail: veronica.krenn@unimib.it
Veronica graduated cum Laude in Industrial Biotechnologies at the University of Milan-Bicocca. She obtained her PhD in Molecular Medicine at the University of Milan, working on molecular mechanisms of cell division under the supervision of Andrea Musacchio. For her Postdoc, she joined the laboratory of Jürgen Knoblich at IMBA in Vienna, where she started to work on human brain organoids and applied them to the study of genetic and infection-based neurodevelopmental diseases.
In 2022, she joined the Department of Biotechnology and Biosciences of the University of Milano-Bicocca as Principal Investigator, after being awarded with the Early Career Fellowship promoted by the Human Technopole.
Anna Cascio
DIMET PhD candidate
E-mail: a.cascio6@campus.unimib.it
Anna graduated cum laude in Biology applied to Research in Biomedicine at the University of Milan. She previously focused on the study of neuroinflammation in in vitro models of neurodegeneration and she is now investigating the contribution of microglia mediated-neuroinflammatory processes to the ethiology of neurodevelopmental disorders using human stem cells-derived models.
