Istituto Di Genetica E Biofisica
The Istituto di Genetica e Biofisica (IGB) (Institute of Genetics and Biophysics) is an integral part of the institutes of the Italian Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (National Research Council). It was founded in 1962 in Naples by the Italian geneticist Adriano Buzzati-Traverso and called ''Laboratorio Internazionale di Genetica e Biofisica'' (LIGB) (''International Laboratory of Genetics and Biophysics''). In 1968 the Laboratory came under the full control of the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, changing its name to the ''Istituto Internazionale di Genetica e Biofisica'' (IIGB) (''International Institute of Genetics and Biophysics''). Successively it assumed its present name of ''Istituto di Genetica e Biofisica''. References External links Official Homepage of the IGB Research institutes in Italy {{Italy-org-stub ...

Consiglio Nazionale Delle Ricerche
The National Research Council (Italian: ''Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, CNR'') is the largest research council in Italy. As a public organisation, its remit is to support scientific and technological research. Its headquarters are in Rome. History The institution was founded in 1923. The first president was Vito Volterra, succeeded by Guglielmo Marconi. The process of improvement of the national scientific research, through the use of specific laws, (see Law 59/1997), affects many research organisations, and amongst them is CNR, whose "primary function is to carry on, through its own organs, advanced basic and applied research, both to develop and maintain its own scientific competitiveness, and to be ready to take part effectively in a timely manner in the strategic fields defined by the national planning system". On 23 December 1987, CNR registered the first Italian internet domain: cnr.it Reorganisation With the issuing of the legislative decree of 30 January 1999, n ...

Geneticist
A geneticist is a biologist or physician who studies genetics, the science of genes, heredity, and variation of organisms. A geneticist can be employed as a scientist or a lecturer. Geneticists may perform general research on genetic processes or develop genetic technologies to aid in the pharmaceutical or and agriculture industries. Some geneticists perform experiments in model organisms such as ''Drosophila'', ''C. elegans'', zebrafish, rodents or humans and analyze data to interpret the inheritance of biological traits. A basic science geneticist is a scientist who usually has earned a PhD in genetics and undertakes research and/or lectures in the field. A medical geneticist is a physician who has been trained in medical genetics as a specialization and evaluates, diagnoses, and manages patients with hereditary conditions or congenital malformations; and provides genetic risk calculations and mutation analysis. Education Geneticists participate in courses from many area ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Adriano Buzzati-Traverso
Adriano Buzzati-Traverso (6 April 1913, Milan, Italy – 22 April 1983) was an Italian geneticist. In 1962 he founded in Naples the '' Laboratorio Internazionale di Genetica e Biofisica'' (''International Laboratory of Genetics and Biophysics''). The name of the fly '' Drosophila buzzatii'', often used in genetical and evolutionary studies, derives from this significant Italian scientist. He was the brother of the well-known writer Dino Buzzati. References Dino Buzzati 1913 births 1983 deaths Italian geneticists {{Geneticist-stub ...
