A molecular look at the extracellular matrix

Focusing on proteins and enzymes, we study molecular interactions in bio-medically relevant targets, enabling drug discovery

FornerisLab

Welcome to fornerislab.unipv.it

We study molecular mechanisms of biosynthesis, recognition and regulation that underlie biological processes within the complexity of the extracellular matrix using an integrative structural biology approach. We are part of the Structural Biology Groups active in the Department of Biology and Biotechnology at the University of Pavia. In our website you can find information about our research interests, our team, our collaborators, and how to interact with us.
