We are proud to celebrate Italian excellence in science with the accomplishments of our Miami Scientific Italian Community members Dr. Laura Bianchi, PhD, and Dr. Roberta Brambilla, PhD, who have been elected Directors of the graduate programs in Cellular Physiology and Molecular Biophysics, and Neuroscience, respectively, at the University of Miami.

Dr. Bianchi and Dr. Brambilla share a remarkably parallel career path, which has led them to Miami to establish their research laboratories at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, where Laura is Professor of Physiology and Biophysics, and Roberta is Associate Professor of Neurological Surgery and faculty of the Miami Project to Cure Paralysis.
