Overview

Giorgio Berton is affiliated with the University of Verona in Italy and conducts research primarily in the field of Medicine. Their work spans several specialized subfields including Pulmonary and Respiratory Medicine, Immunology and Allergy, Molecular Biology, and Hematology.

The focus of Berton's research includes key topics such as Cystic Fibrosis Research Advances, Neonatal Respiratory Health Research, Cell Adhesion Molecules Research, Biochemical and Structural Characterization, and Platelet Disorders and Treatments.

Berton has contributed to publications in venues such as UNC Libraries, with documented works including:

  • Phospholipase C-δ3 Is a Key Modulator of IL-8 Expression in Cystic Fibrosis Bronchial Epithelial Cells, 2020, UNC Libraries
  • Src-family kinases mediate an outside-in signal necessary for β2 integrins to achieve full activation and sustain firm adhesion of polymorphonuclear leucocytes tethered on E-selectin, 2020, UNC Libraries

Frequent collaborators in Berton's research include:

  • Valentino Bezzerri
  • Pio D'Adamo
  • Alessandro Rimessi
