Team - Laboratory of Experimental Psychopharmacology

	Paola Brivio E-mail: paola.brivio@unimi.it Phone +39-0250318343 Paola Brivio is a Type B Post-doctoral fellow at DISFEB. From 2015 to 2018 she carried out her doctoral studies in the laboratory of professor Riva, investigating the impact of chronic stress exposure on the development of psychiatric disorders. Her current research is focused on the mechanisms of susceptibility to stress related-disorders.
	Francesca Mottarlini E-mail: francesca.mottarlini@unimi.it Phone +39-0250318377 Francesca Mottarlini is a postdoctoral research fellow at DISFEB. She obtained her PhD in Pharmacological Biomolecular Experimental and Clinical Sciences in 2021, working in the lab of Experimental Psychopharmacology under the supervision of Prof. Fabio Fumagalli. During her PhD she spent six months working in the lab of Prof. Jamie Peters at the University of Colorado (Denver) deepening her knowledge in the field of drug addiction. After her PhD she was awarded with a fellowship from the Zardi Gori Foundation to conduct her research, which is focused on investigating neuroplasticity mechanisms involved in reward processes, following the action of drugs of abuse, and underlying Anorexia Nervosa.
	Coralie Maggi Phone: +39-0250318377 E-mail: coralie.maggi@unimi.it Coralie Maggi is a research fellow at the Department of Pharmacological and Biomolecular Sciences (DISFEB). She carried out her thesis for the Master degree course in Medicine at the Center for Behavioral Neuroscience and Communication (BNC) of the San Raffaele Hospital headed by Professor Antonio Malgaroli. Now, she is working in the Lab of Experimental Pharmacology under the supervision of Prof. Fabio Fumagalli and her interest concerns the study of the molecular effects induced by socialization and exposure to stress in perinatal age on the glucocorticoid and endocannabinoid systems.
	Giorgia Targa E-mail: giorgia.targa@unimi.it Phone +39-0250318354 Giorgia Targa is a Ph.D student at DISFEB from 2020. She carried out her Master thesis in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology in the lab of Experimental Psychopharmacology under the supervision of Prof. Fumagalli. Her research is focused on investigating the biomolecular and neuroplasticity mechanisms underlying Anorexia Nervosa, particularly related to the neuro-metabolic implications behind this pathology.
	Maria Teresa Gallo Phone: +39-0250318354 E-mail: mariateresa.gallo@unimi.it Maria Teresa Gallo is a Ph.D. student at DISFEB from 2021. She carried out her Master's thesis in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and technology under the supervision of Prof. Francesca Calabrese. After her M.Sc. degree, she spent six months in the laboratory “Serotonin signaling in plasticity and disease” under the supervision of Dr.Luc Maroteaux and Prof. Anne Roumier at Institut du fer à moulin, in Paris, within the Erasmus Traineeship program. Her research is focused on animal models of psychiatric disorders based on genetic and pharmacological manipulations of the serotonergic system from the first stages of life until adulthood.
	Beatrice Rizzi Phone: +39-0250318377 E-mail: beatrice.rizzi@unimi.it Beatrice Rizzi is a research fellow at DISFEB. She carried out her Master thesis in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology in the lab of Experimental Psychopharmacology under the supervision of Prof. Lucia Caffino. Her research is focused on investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying Anorexia Nervosa, particularly studying putative molecular targets involved in the onset and maintenance of the disease.
