Neuroscience Institute: new hub for mental health and neuroscience
Florence Neuroscience Institute: Fanfani Institute's new frontiers
Companies and ESG standards
Companies need to raise their own benchmark standards by building comprehensive, credible and comparable impact assessment tools to support economic systems change and foster active stakeholder participation.
The Fanfani Institute has chosen to decline its market positioning on principles of holistic quality, inclusiveness, independence and credibility. This commitment translates into rigor in professional practice and data and information management, total openness to human relations and gender diversity, and full respect for social needs and environmental changes.
We envision a global and local economy that uses development and growth as a positive force to induce change. We believe it is necessary to be the change we want to see in the world. Every business consolidation and expansion project must be conducted considering people and place of action as fundamental, without harming but integrating human and spatial diversity, cultural choices and temporalities.
Florence Neuroscience Institute: Fanfani Institute's new frontiers
Thanks to our collaboration with Dr. Stefano Pallanti, an internationally renowned expert, we are expanding the health care offerings of our Florence neuroscience institute to meet the growing needs in the treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders.
The Fanfani Institute becomes a reference point for neuroscience, enriching its offerings with:
- Advanced diagnosis and treatment for neurological and psychiatric disorders.
- Personalized approaches for the management of anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive and neurodegenerative disorders.
- Interdisciplinary collaborations to ensure comprehensive, state-of-the-art treatments.

Dr. Stefano Pallanti
Integrated and Sustainable Health Project
Dr. Stefano Pallanti is an international expert in psychiatry and neuroscience with extensive experience in research, clinical practice and university teaching. Founder and director of the Institute of Neuroscience in Florence, Italy, he has held academic positions at prestigious institutions such as the University of Florence, Harvard, Stanford, and UC Davis.
He is a member of important scientific committees and has contributed pioneering research in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorders, behavioral addictions, and neuromodulation.
With more than 30 years of career, he has developed innovative methods for the diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric disorders, integrating neuroscience and advanced technologies.
Dr. Pallanti's commitment reinforces our mission to put the person at the center, offering clinical and human support to patients and their families.
Dr. Pallanti
Dr. Stefano Pallanti has conducted pioneering research in psychiatry and neuroscience, focusing initially on schizophrenia, mood and anxiety disorders, and then delving into obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and behavioral addictions, such as pathological gambling.
He has developed innovative therapies, including intravenous drug delivery and the use of mood stabilizers, and devised the PG-YBOCS scale to assess pathological gambling.
He has established innovative clinical programs for the treatment of ADHD, addiction and neuropsychiatric disorders, collaborating with such prestigious institutions as Mount Sinai, Stanford and UC Davis.
He introduced the use of neuromodulation (rTMS, Deep TMS, vagus nerve stimulation, tDCS) and combined these approaches with CBT for impulse control.
In recent years, he has focused on advanced psychiatric interventions and applied neuroimmunological approaches to psychiatric and neurological disorders, including Long COVID and autoimmune diseases such as neuropsychiatric lupus. With more than 400 scientific publications, his work continues to influence the evolution of psychiatry and precision medicine.
The method Pallanti

The method developed by Dr. Pallanti is based on a multidisciplinary and personalized approach, with a focus on:
- Early and in-depth diagnosis: use of advanced diagnostic tools to fully understand the patient's disorders.
- Innovative therapies: integration of pharmacological and psychotherapeutic treatments and advanced techniques such as neuromodulation.
- Personalized pathways: attention to the specifics of each patient, with tailored treatments based on scientific evidence.
Through collaboration with Dr. Pallanti, the Fanfani Institute offers:
- Advanced diagnoses for anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, neurodegenerative and other neurological and psychiatric disorders.
- Customized therapeutic programs for recovery of mental and neurological well-being.
- Neuromodulation techniques and innovative interventions for disorders resistant to traditional therapies.
- Clinical and psychological support for patients and their families.
