Dr. Luca Munaron University of Turin, Italy

Luca Munaron is Associate Professor in Physiology at the University of Turin, Italy. He is mainly interested in the role of intracellular calcium signaling in the control of endothelial cell proliferation and angiogenesis. His research currently focuses on the molecular identity of calcium channels activated by proangiogenic factors, their regulation... read moreby intracellular messengers and the intracellular spatiotemporal dynamics of mitogen-activated calcium waves. Collaborations with medical research groups allow Luca Munaron to investigate the general role of calcium signals in tumor progression.
