Italy		Neurophysiology Research Unit• In human neocortical neurons derived from induced. Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs), we study the effect of 5G exposure on:
a) ion channel function, by patch-clamp recording
b) action potential firing rate and network activity, by Multi Electrode Array (MEA) recording
c) DNA methylation, by high-throughput microarrays in a case-control design
• In human keratinocytes, we study the effect of 5G exposure on: 
a) TRPV ion channel function, by patch-clamp recording
