Prof. Vittorio Calabrese, Graduated in Medicine on 1984 at the University of Catania, after specialization in Neurology, on 1988 at University of Catania, since 1996 was Researcher at the Department of Biochemistry, School of Medicine, University of Catania. By 2001 to date Prof. Calabrese is a Professor of Clinical Biochemistry at the School of Medicine and Surgery and actual Director of School of Specialization in Clinical Pathology and Clinical Biochemistry, University of Catania, University of Messina and University of Palermo. He is member of the Editorial Board of several high peer reviewed journals including: Journal of Neuroscience Research; Neurochem Research; Antioxidant Redox Signaling; Journal Neurochemistry; Free Radical Biology Medicine; Current Neurovascular Disorders. He has been reviewer of national projects (Italian MIUR), and many foreign projects for foreign institutions. He has been member of the ASN Commission (05/E1) of the Italian MIUR for the year 2013 and 2014. His research focuses on the role of free radicals and antioxidants in human disease, particularly Alzheimer's disease and other brain disorders. His interest in identifying the most important antioxidants in the human diet and in developing novel antioxidants has critical bearing on treating human diseases and understanding how diet might cause or prevent them. Areas of his research interests includes role of Oxidative Stress and Mitochondrial dysfunction in Aging, Neurodegenerative disorders and Longevity; Proteomics and redox proteomics, Heat shock signal pathway Hormesis and Vitagenes in Neurodegeneration. The results of his researches have been reported in over 160 scientific papers published in outstanding international journals and widely cited (around 8500 total citations, around 5000 citations of the 10 most cited articles), for an HI value of 57 (ISI). He has deposited one patent (Nr. WO 2004/07883 A1 of 10.9.2004) for the use of curcumin and its derivatives in the treatment neurodegenerative disorders.
In 1993 I was employed as an assistant in the Public Health and Social Medicine Department of Medical University of Gdańsk.
Then I undertook research concerning Polish society health status, health promotion, health care service activity and the health policy. These areas of interest were connected with the profile of my place of work.
In years 1995-2017 I worked as a research-and-teaching assistant, later as a senior lecturer and an assistant professor consequently, in the Department of Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery of Medical University of Gdańsk. At the time, I commenced my research on head and neck neoplasms, as well as trauma and inflammation processes of head and neck region. Since 12th of April 2017 I had been acting Head of Oral Surgery Department of Medical University of Gdańsk and since 1st of June 2018 I have been Head of Oral Surgery Department of Medical University of Gdańsk. On 1st of January 2018 I was hired as an associate professor in Medical University of Gdańsk. On the 28th of November 2019 I was hired as a professor at the Medical University of Gdańsk.
Research Interest: Oncology, laryngology, oral surgery
Dr. Dworkin-Valenti received his Ph.D. from the University of Buffalo with special focus on speech and voice physiology. He completed a post-doctoral fellowship at the Mayo Clinic, concentrating his research on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in the Department of Neurology. He is currently Director of Clinical Research at the Detroit Medical Center, in cooperation with the Department of Otolaryngology ENT Residency Program. Throughout his career, Dr. Dworkin-Valenti has cumulatively published more than 125 scientific journal articles, textbooks, and book chapters on various subjects, including vocal pathologies, otolaryngic allergy, and motor speech and developmental communication disorders.
