Speaker name: Prof. Antonio Giordano

Speaker 2

Prof. Giordano is the President and Founder of the Sbarro Health Research Organization (SHRO), which conducts research to diagnose, treat and cure cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and other chronic illnesses; moreover, he is a Professor of Molecular Biology at Temple University in Philadelphia, USA, and Professor in the Department of Pathology & Oncology at the University of Siena, Italy. In his research throughout the years, Dr. Antonio Giordano identified a tumor suppressor gene, Rb2/p130, that has been found to be active in the lung, endometrial, brain, breast, liver, and ovarian cancers. In 2011, Prof. Giordano and his team uncovered anti-tumor agents that might be effective in the treatment of mesothelioma, cancer caused by prolonged asbestos exposure. Prof. Giordano has published over 600 papers on gene therapy, cell cycle, genetics of cancer, and epidemiology. He is co-author of a book on the use of liquid biopsy: "Liquid Biopsy. New Challenges in the Era of Immunotherapy and Precision Oncology".
