Marco A. Riva is the co-founder and co-president of the Italian Stress Network. His research is primarily focused on the investigation of how exposure to early in life adversities may shape the vulnerability to mental disorders and on the identification and characterization of mechanisms that may be target for pharmacological intervention aimed at reducing or preventing stress-induced dysfunction.

Patrizia Campolongo is the co-founder and co-president of the Italian Stress Network. Her research focuses on the effects of stress on memory function, investigating the role of different neural circuits that mediate behavior in response to stress. ​​​​​​

Annamaria Cattaneo is the Treasurer of the Italian Network of Stress. Her primary interest is to investigate the biological mechanisms associated with early-life stress exposure that contribute to increased vulnerability to mental disorders, and to identify peripheral biomarkers that can predict vulnerability, differential diagnosis and treatment response.​
