Massimo Ciccozzi is affiliated with Università Campus Bio-Medico in Italy and has a significant body of work primarily focused on medical and infectious disease research. Their research spans several interconnected fields, with a notable emphasis on SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 studies.

The primary field of study for Ciccozzi is Medicine, with 647 publications, and within this broad area, important subfields include Infectious Diseases (302 publications), Epidemiology (92 publications), Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health (61 publications), Molecular Biology (56 publications), and Modeling and Simulation (38 publications).

Ciccozzi's main research topics cover a range of viral and epidemiological subjects, as reflected by their significant number of publications on SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 Research (218 publications), COVID-19 Clinical Research Studies (100 publications), and COVID-19 epidemiological studies (76 publications). Other important topics they have contributed to include Viral gastroenteritis research and epidemiology (66 publications), Viral Infections and Vectors (60 publications), Viral Infections and Outbreaks Research (54 publications), and Animal Virus Infections Studies (54 publications).

Notable recent papers from Ciccozzi's collaborative network include:

  • "The COVID-19 pandemic", 2020, published in Critical Reviews in Clinical Laboratory Sciences
  • "Emerging SARS-CoV-2 mutation hot spots include a novel RNA-dependent-RNA polymerase variant", 2020, published in Journal of Translational Medicine
  • "Application of the ARIMA model on the COVID-2019 epidemic dataset", 2020, published in Data in Brief
  • "The 2019-new coronavirus epidemic: Evidence for virus evolution", 2020, published in Journal of Medical Virology
  • "COVID-2019: The role of the nsp2 and nsp3 in its pathogenesis", 2020, published in Journal of Medical Virology

Ciccozzi frequently publishes in journals such as the Journal of Medical Virology, Infectious Diseases, Viruses, Pathogens, and bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory). Among these, the Journal of Medical Virology stands out as the venue with the highest number of publications (54).

Collaboration has been a consistent element of their work, with frequent co-authors including Marta Giovanetti, Fabio Scarpa, Francesco Branda, Giancarlo Ceccarelli, and Silvia Angeletti. The co-author relationships reflect a strong network within the infectious diseases research community.
