Prof. Michele Giugliano

University of Modena and Reggio Emilia

Michele Giugliano graduated in Electronic Engineering in Genoa in 1997 and completed a doctorate in Bioengineering at the Polytechnic of Milan in 2001 with Massimo Grattarola, pioneer of Neuroengineering in Italy.

In 2001 he left Italy to further study neurobiology with a grant from the Human Frontiers Science Program to the medical school from the University of Bern, Switzerland. In 2005 he became a researcher at the Mind-Brain Institute of the Federal Polytechnic of Lausanne, where he worked with Henry Markram, initiator of the Human Brain Project. In 2008 he took over the chair of Neuroscience at the University of Antwerp, Belgium, where for 11 years he was Biomedical Sciences faculty, directing a research group active in Neurobiology and Neuroengineering. In 2019 he came back to Italy as a professor of Physiology at the School Superior of Advanced Studies of Trieste (SISSA), where he moved his experimental lab. Since 2024, he is Professor of Bioengineering at The University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, where is contributing to the launch of the new Master in "Bioingegneria per l'innovazione in medicina".
