  • 2023 - Research.com Biology and Biochemistry in Italy Leader Award

Overview

Ugo Testa is affiliated with the Istituto Superiore di Sanità in Italy and has contributed extensively to research within medicine and molecular biology. Their research encompasses a significant number of publications across various subfields, with a particular focus on molecular biology, oncology, hematology, cancer research, and genetics.

The main topics covered by their work include acute myeloid leukemia research, CAR-T cell therapy research, cancer genomics and diagnostics, virus-based gene therapy research, histone deacetylase inhibitors research, retinoids in leukemia and cellular processes, and lung cancer treatments and mutations.

Their recent publications include:

  • Breast Cancer: A Molecularly Heterogenous Disease Needing Subtype-Specific Treatments, 2020, Medical Sciences
  • Genetic Alterations of Metastatic Colorectal Cancer, 2020, Biomedicines

Ugo Testa frequently collaborates with several co-authors, including Elvira Pelosi, Germana Castelli, Giuseppe Leone, Tiziana Ottone, and Maria Teresa Voso. Collaborations with Elvira Pelosi and Germana Castelli are particularly prominent based on publication count.

The scientist has published numerous articles in several academic venues such as the Mediterranean Journal of Hematology and Infectious Diseases, Cancers, Preprints.org, Hemato, and Biomedicines. These venues represent a broad engagement with hematology, oncology, and related biomedical fields.
