Dr. Lorenzo Pini is a researcher at the Department of Neuroscience, University of Padua (Italy), where he investigates the neural mechanisms underlying brain connectivity in neurodegenerative and focal disorders. His research combines multimodal neuroimaging (fMRI, DWI, PET), machine learning, and non-invasive neuromodulation to identify clinically relevant biomarkers of brain disconnection and recovery. He earned his Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences and Translational Medicine from the University of Brescia (Italy) and has conducted research in leading European institutions in Switzerland and The Netherlands. Dr. Pini has authored more than 65 peer-reviewed publications and is co-inventor of a patent on a diffusion-based prognostic index for glioblastoma survival. He serves as Associate Editor for BMC Neuroscience and PLOS One. His current work focuses on modeling large-scale brain disconnection, predicting clinical outcomes from neuroimaging data, and integrating connectomic information to study the continuum between brain health and disease.
