Research
Research projects, activities and opportunitiesFor us, research is a fundamental element for social and economic development, contributing to progress, wellbeing and social cohesion.
This is why the University of Verona supports quality interdisciplinary research, international collaborations and the sharing of results to benefit our society, culture and economy.
Departments and research
The University of Verona stands out for its commitment to cutting-edge scientific research, both basic and applied, across a wide range of disciplines.
Research is organized into four major areas, each consisting of departments focused on specific fields. Specifically, the University offers:
- 3 departments in Humanities
- 3 departments in Law and Economics
- 4 departments in Life and Health Sciences
- 3 departments in Natural Sciences and Engineering (with one shared with the Life Sciences area)
This structure fosters a multidisciplinary and innovative research environment, making the University of Verona a key player in scientific and academic development.

The Dangerous Effects of a Frustratingly Easy LLMs Jailbreak Attack
Large Language Models (LLMs) are employed in various applications, including direct end-user interactions. Ideally, they should consistently generate both factually accurate and non-offensive responses, and they are specifically trained and safeguarded to meet these standards. However, this paper demonstrates that simple, manual, and generalizable jailbreaking attacks, such as reasoning backward, can effectively bypass the safeguards implemented in LLMs, potentially leading to harmful consequenc...
Gender differences in psychological features and determinates of quality of life in axial spondyloarthritis and psoriatic arthritis: a cross-sectional study
Background: Investigating gender-specific differences in rheumatology is crucial for improving personalized treatment. The present study aimed to explore gender differences in psychological characteristics and features associated with impaired physical and mental quality of life in male and female patients affected by axial spondyloarthritis or psoriatic arthritis. Methods: The present study is cross-sectional. Quality of life was evaluated using a Medical Outcome Study 36-item Short Form health...
Enhanced Osteogenic Differentiation of Human Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells by a Hybrid Hydroxylapatite/Collagen Scaffold
Human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) and their derivative enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP)-hBMSCs were employed to evaluate an innovative hybrid scaffold composed of granular hydroxylapatite and collagen hemostat (Coll/HA). The cellular morphology/cytoskeleton organization and cell viability were investigated by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and AlamarBlue metabolic assay, respectively. The expression of osteopontin and osteocalcin proteins was analyzed by IHC and ELIS...
Towards collaborative data science in mental health research: The ECNP neuroimaging network accessible data repository
The current biologically uninformed psychiatric taxonomy complicates optimal diagnosis and treatment. Neuroimaging-based machine learning methods hold promise for tackling these issues, but large-scale, representative cohorts are required for building robust and generalizable models. The European College of Neuropsychopharmacology Neuroimaging Network Accessible Data Repository (ECNP-NNADR) addresses this need by collating multi-site, multi-modal, multi-diagnosis datasets that enable collaborati...
Exponential integrators for a mean-field selective optimal control problem
In this paper we consider a mean-field optimal control problem with selective action of the control, where the constraint is a continuity equation involving a non-local term and diffusion. First order optimality conditions are formally derived in a general framework, accounting for boundary conditions. Hence, the optimality system is used to construct a reduced gradient method, where we introduce a novel algorithm for the numerical realization of the forward and the backward equations, based on...

Networking e InternazionalizzazioneL'ateneo promuove la presenza di ricercatori e docenti internazionali per attività di didattica e di ricerca attraverso specifici finanziamenti per la mobilità in ingresso degli ospiti internazionali.
Un Visiting Professor è un docente o ricercatore di alto livello proveniente da un'istituzione straniera, invitato per un periodo limitato a svolgere attività accademiche.
Annualmente vengono pubblicati i bandi "Visiting" ricompresi all'interno del Programma di internazionalizzazione di ateneo che finanziano soggiorni di ricerca e/o di didattica a Verona, oltre che l'attribuzione di interi insegnamenti a docenti internazionali. Inoltre, i Dipartimenti dispongono di appositi finanziamenti, finalizzati ad accrescere la dimensione internazionale della didattica all'interno dei Corsi di studio, anche attraverso la partecipazione di docenti provenienti da atenei europei ed extra-europei.
