Biography
Maria Laura Zuccoli obtained my medical degree from the University of Genoa, Italy, and I completed the residency in Clinical Toxicology at the University of Florence, in Italy. I am currently a PhD candidate in Experimental Medicine at the University of Genoa and a Visiting Fellow at the National Institute on Drug Abuse, in Baltimore, USA. My main research topics focus on the understanding of neurobiological mechanisms involved in the effects of widely abused substances such as cannabinoids, opioids and alcohol, using in vivo two-photon endomicroscopy, optogenetic and chemogenetic behavioral assays and molecular biology techniques.
