About

Gianluca Quaglio is a prominent researcher at the intersection of neuroscience, science policy, and European research governance. His work is distinguished by a strong focus on how large-scale, multidisciplinary initiatives can advance our understanding of the brain, particularly through the lens of the Human Brain Project and related EU-funded frameworks. Quaglio’s major contributions include shaping the strategic direction of pan-European neuroscience by analyzing the structural and policy challenges of integrating diverse scientific disciplines—from molecular biology to computational modeling—into cohesive research programs. His most cited paper, "Understanding the brain through large, multidisciplinary research initiatives" (2017), with 11 citations, serves as a key reference for scholars examining the organizational and epistemological hurdles of big-science neuroscience. Beyond this, Quaglio has been instrumental in bridging the gap between scientific communities and EU policymakers, advocating for responsible research and innovation in brain science. His work is essential reading for students and researchers interested in how institutional frameworks and collaborative models can accelerate discovery in complex fields like neuroscience, making him a vital voice in the ongoing dialogue between science and society.
