Enrica Strettoi

Short CV

PhD in Neuroscience. Senior Investigator of the Italian National Research Council (CNR). Acting co-chairman for the Pisa laboratories of the Neuroscience Institute.

Expert in the field of retinal connectivity, morphology and functional correlation and inherited degeneration.

Uses a collection of state-of-the art neuroanatomical methods and collaborates closely with retinal electrophysiologists and biochemists to produce multidisciplinary studies.
