Disruptive materials, technologies & approaches to unravel the role of Astrocytes in brain function and dysfunction: towards to Glial interfaces

BRIEF DESCRIPTION:

ASTROTECH will create and develop the field of Glial Engineering, to provide a consistent range of tools to record, study, and manipulate astrocytes in the healthy and diseased brain. ASTROTECH will train 15 Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) on research, training, and complementary skills aiming at: engineering biomaterials and nanostructured interfaces to provide in vivo-like in vitro models for controlled & reliable studies of astrocytes in vitro. The main objective of IPCB-CNR in the ASTROTECH project is to develop micro/nanostructured platforms able to support the growth of astrocytes and neurons in a 3D architecture in order to define a novel 3D model for long-term in vitro neurophysiological investigation. This activity will be assessed by the training of 1 ESR in collaboration with several partners of the project (i.e. University of Bari, ISOF-CNR, INEB)
