Meet the EpiCreators

“In the last three decades, I’ve been involved in research in asthma and respiratory allergy, as well as in education and knowledge translation in respiratory health.”

“Our team is working in the Center for Basic and Clinical Immunology Research of the University of Naples Federico II and focuses on inflammatory mediators in allergic diseases.”

“I am an expert in severe asthma, and I have a longstanding interest in the airway epithelium.”

“My particular area of interest is airway diseases, in particular severe asthma, and trying to understand what are the underlying mechanisms.”

“I have a longstanding interest in exploring the fascinating biology of the airway epithelium and its role in health and disease.”

“EpiCentral is an important platform to tackle our rapidly evolving knowledge of the airway epithelium as the epicentre of asthma.”

 “My particular interest is in the bronchial epithelium and its relation to allergy and environment in chronic severe bronchial diseases.”

“I am currently investigating how repeated cycles of injury and repair of the airway epithelium contribute to the development of asthma.”

“My research area of interest is on the pathogenesis of bronchial asthma and allergic diseases, including the roles of eosinophils, basophils, mast cells, macrophages and specific cytokines in allergic disorders.”

“My main clinical interests focus on inflammatory airway diseases, immunological mechanisms of allergic diseases, asthma, rhinitis, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, anaphylaxis and food allergy.”

“My primary research focus is on the causative mechanisms of AERD, severe asthma and nasal polyposis.”

“My research focuses on identifying and validating biomarkers of eosinophilic, Type-2 airway inflammation in asthma and COPD.”

“My research interests focus on immunological and allergic diseases, in particular severe asthma and rare dysimmune conditions with hyper-eosinophilia.”

“My primary research focus is in chronic rhinosinusitis and comorbid conditions. I have published more than 100 peer-reviewed articles in this field.”

“My research focuses on improving outcomes of medical and surgical treatments for nasal conditions.”

“My research interests are related to large clinical trials in COPD, defining disease phenotypes, new screening methods and treatment interventions, as well as the impact of smoking and smoke exposure on lung health.”

“My research encompasses several fields of respiratory medicine, including asthma, COPD and lung cancer, with the aim to investigate the mechanisms of airway inflammation, early determinants of lung health and the pathophysiological links between respiratory and cardiovascular disease.”

“My research centres on the pathophysiological roles of eosinophils, especially in relation to inflammatory diseases such as asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis.”
