Massimiliano Galdiero is a professor at the Department of Experimental Medicine, University of Campania “Luigi Vanvitelli”, Naples, Italy. He mostly deals with antimicrobials, microbiology, silver nanoparticles, biochemistry, and herpes simplex virus. His work on antimicrobial peptides as part of the general antimicrobial study is frequently linked to Class Bivalvia, bridging the gap between disciplines. The various areas that he examines in his microbiology study include tumor necrosis factor-alpha, cytokine, the immune system, bacteria, and monocytes. His silver nanoparticle study deals with the bigger picture of nanotechnology. His biochemistry study frequently involves adjacent topics like cell biology. He focuses mostly on the field of Herpes simplex virus, narrowing it down to matters related to Herpesvirus glycoprotein B and, in some cases, viral envelope, transmembrane domain, and molecular biology. He has an h-Index of 41, and his papers have been cited more than 7600 times (Scopus, 30 October 2023).
