I’m a medical doctor, specialized in Infectious and Tropical Diseases and my clinical daily work in a hospital setting is related to infectious diseases, including those related to migrants and solid organ transplant recipients. I’m a teacher of Infectious Diseases at “Sapienza” University of Rome, Italy, and at the University of Dschang, Cameroon. My research interest is related to infectious diseases, mainly poverty-related diseases (HIV, malaria, TB), and emerging infections. I have a long clinical experience in resource-limited countries (Africa & Asia) in the framework of international cooperation activities (academic and non-academic), including emergency situations (i.e. conflicts & catastrophic events, Polio & Ebola outbreaks). In general, I'm also interested in understanding the interplay between host and microbes, and factors involved in epidemiology and management of infectious diseases. More recently I also focused my attention also to anti-infectious drug pharmacogenetics with clinical implications for patient management
