Biography

He graduated in Animal Science and got the Italian doctorate (recognized as equivalent to a PhD) in physiopathology in dairy cows at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Piacenza (Italy). He moved at the Pennsylvania State University for one year post-doctorate where he studied peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) in dairy cows. He moved then at the University of Illinois for a post-doctorate in livestock functional nutriphysiogenomics with Prof. Juan J Loor and a post-doctore investigating use of mesenchymal stem cells for maxillofacial bone regeneration with Prof. Matthew B. Wheeler. At University of Illinois he taught courses in stem cell biology. His expertise range from agricultural to biomedical science and from in vivo studies with large animals to in vitro studies using tissue and cell culture in combination with molecular biology techniques. He has an extensive interest in studying PPAR in dairy cows with the purpose to fine-tune the metabolism.
