grants

The lab has been awarded an ERC Starting Grant (1.5M euros, 2026-2031) for the project MOVIOLA: Cell decision capture and control via joint Raman live and omics profiling, to understand molecular determinants of neural cell fate decisions.

The lab has been awarded an SNSF Starting Grant to demystify the role of lipids in the brain’s developmental blueprint, probing into uncharted functions of lipid metabolism to uncover how diverse lipid species impact neural cell formation and specialization.

The lab is the recipient of one of the 79 grants awarded this year across all scientific disciplines. I am really honored by this recognition. This SNF grant will allow us to study, using cutting-edge technologies, the complex cellular dynamics of progenitor cells during brain development.

The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) has awarded a grant to the lab of Gioele La Manno, together with the Karolinska Institute and The University of Edinburgh. The collaborative research aims at new therapies for multiple sclerosis, and will be part of the Human Cell Atlas project.
