Overview

Stefano Romeo is affiliated with the University of Gothenburg in Sweden and has built a research profile primarily in medicine, with significant contributions to biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology. Their research encompasses a broad range of topics, focusing chiefly on liver disease diagnosis and treatment, diet, metabolism and disease, as well as lipid metabolism and related disorders.

Their recent published works reflect these research interests. Notable papers include EU-Wide Cross-Sectional Observational Study of Lipid-Modifying Therapy Use in Secondary and Primary Care: the DA VINCI study (2020, European Journal of Preventive Cardiology), Non-invasive stratification of hepatocellular carcinoma risk in non-alcoholic fatty liver using polygenic risk scores (2020, Journal of Hepatology), Leveraging Human Genetics to Identify Potential New Treatments for Fatty Liver Disease (2020, Cell Metabolism), Endocrine aspects of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD): Beyond insulin resistance (2023, Journal of Hepatology), and Review article: the emerging role of genetics in precision medicine for patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (2020, Alimentary Pharmacology & Therapeutics).

Stefano Romeo frequently collaborates with a set of co-authors, including Luca Valenti, Oveis Jamialahmadi, Federica Tavaglione, Rosellina Margherita Mancina, and Salvatore Petta. These collaborations have contributed to a consistent output in several prominent journals.

Their research has been published extensively in several venues, with a particular concentration in:

  • Journal of Hepatology
  • Liver International
  • Digestive and Liver Disease
  • Nature Medicine
  • Nutrients

The subfields that frequently receive focus in their research are epidemiology, endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism, hepatology, surgery, and cell biology.
