About me
This is my personal space on the Citizendium. My name is Giorgio Francesco Gilestro, I was born in Italy 29 years ago. I can define myself as something in between a molecular biologist and a neurobiologist; I have studied Medical Biotechnology at University of Turin, Italy (1996-2001) and then I moved to Vienna, Austria where I obtained a PhD in Molecular Biology studying development of the nervous system in Drosophila Melanogaster (2002-2006). Currently, I devote myself to study Sleep Genetics using Drosophila Melanogaster as model system (yes, flies do sleep indeed!) in the laboratory for research on sleep and consciousness directed by Chiara Cirelli and Giulio Tononi.
