معرفی
Marco Gallio is a Professor in the Department of Neurobiology at Northwestern University's Weinberg College of Arts & Sciences. He holds the Soretta and Henry Shapiro Research Professorship in Molecular Biology. His research focuses on neurogenetics, systems neuroscience, and the neural basis of brain and behavior, particularly how temperature is sensed and processed in Drosophila to drive behaviors like thermoregulation and threat avoidance.
Dr. Gallio earned his Ph.D. from the Karolinska Institute. His work integrates genetic, molecular, and behavioral approaches to dissect neural circuits underlying temperature coding and environmental adaptation. Key contributions include identifying thermosensory pathways and circuits governing temperature preference and avoidance in insects.
His research highlights the conservation of nociceptive mechanisms across species and explores how environmental cues like humidity and temperature shape survival behaviors. Despite no explicitly listed awards, his publications reflect impactful contributions to sensory neuroscience and Drosophila model systems.
Labs and teams: Gallio's Neurobiology lab at Northwestern focuses on systems-level analysis of sensory circuits. Collaborations include work on TRPA1 channels and environmental stress responses in insects.
