Within the Department of Biomedical Sciences work 1 Section of the CNR Institute of Neuroscience (merged CNR Center for the Study of Biomembranes and Centre for the Study of Muscle Biology and Pathophysiology) staffed (8 researchers and 4 technicians) and self-financing.
The Department is associated with the Interdepartmental Research Center for Innovative Biotechnologies (CRIBI), University of Padova, actively contributing to scientific research and services that take place there.
The department has a close association with the vimm (Venetian Institute of Molecular Medicine), located a short distance structure in which they operate some of the professors and researchers of the Department.
