EBRI brain institute gets 1m from research ministry. Rome-based European Brain Research Institute (EBRI) founded by the late Italian neurologist and 1986 Nobel Prize winner for medicine RitaLevi-Montalcini.
The intervention became necessary after EBRI missed out on its regular annual funding allocation in the 2024 budget. In late December EBRI President Antonino Cattaneo said in the absence of funding the institute established in 2002 would have to close. The EBRI uses basic research to identify the molecular and cellular mechanisms that are useful for the development of new therapeutic strategies.
