Angelo Forli holds an MSc in Physics and completed his PhD at IIT (Italy) in the laboratory of T. Fellin, where he developed all-optical approaches to monitor and manipulate single-neuron activity by combining two-photon imaging and optogenetics in the mouse cortex. He then joined the laboratory of M. Yartsev at UC Berkeley as an EMBO and then HFSP postdoctoral fellow, investigating the neural bases of social and spatial memory in bats using wireless neural recordings and behavioral tracking. His contributions have been recognized with the 2024 Peter and Patricia Gruber International Research Award in Neuroscience. In October 2025, supported by the Armenise–Harvard Career Development Award, he opened his laboratory at IIT (Italy) to study the neural mechanisms of flexible behavior and regenerative intelligence.
