| CURRENT RESEARCH INTEREST My current research is focused on the development of the visual system, with particular emphasis on the biological processes that pattern the neural tissue and control neuronal death during development. CURRENT PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY International co-ordinator of the Project : CONTROL MECHANISMS OF NEURONAL DEATH (BIO4-CT96-0649) funded by the European Commission within the BIOTECHNOLOGY PROGRAM.
