MAD1, Environment & Sustainability, Foraging, Stefano Mancuso, April 07, 2015

Stefano Mancuso is a founder of the study of plant neurobiology, which explores signalling and communication at all levels of biological organization, from genetics to molecules, cells and ecological communities.

He is a professor of Plant, Soil & Environmental Science at the University of Florence, Italy and co-founder of the LINV (the International Laboratory of Plant Neurobiology).

The work of Stefano and his team continues to transform our view of plants from simple organisms to complex ecological structures and communities that can gather, process and share important information.
