Education

Biography

Born in Florence, Italy, 1949, he attended Medical and Postgraduate School in University of Florence becoming M.D. and Specialist in Gastroenterology. Lieutenant in the Italian Army as Medical Doctor. After that service he have been working at University Hospitals of Parma and Florence, on liver diseases and cancer for almost his career. Appointed Full Professor of Medicine, he have been teaching Internal Medicine to medical, nurse and technician students for many years and, subsequently, he had the Chair of Medical Oncology that he kept at the University of Florence to December 2013 when retired and moved to USA.
The President of the Repubblica Italiana appointed him Ufficiale (Officer) of the Ordine al Meritodella Repubblica Italiana.

He is acting as referee for many international journal such as: Hepatology, Gut, Oncogene, International J. of Cancer, Biochem. Pharmacol., Word J. Gastroenterology and others.

Research Interest

Research career of R.M. has concerned pathophysiology of the liver, gastrointestinal diseases and in the last 20 years his interests as scientist have moved to cancer and particularly to the understanding of how cancer cells become resistant to anticancer drugs and to ionizing radiation. In addition, he had been working on treatment of liver cancer and proteomics of colon cancer.
The most recent interests concern the effect of the acquiring of the multiple drug resistance (MDR) phenotype of cancer cells on mechanisms of cell resistance to several damaging agents and the relationship between MDR phenotype and cancer angiogenesis.
Main interests of research have been the important issue concerning drug resistance and cancer and liver diseases. Concerning this topics he have discovered that the expression of the MDR1 phenotype in cancer cells is associated with the expression of P-glycoprotein also in mitochondria membrane focusing on these important organelles as playing a central role in affecting drug sensitivity to anticancer drugs.

As regards primary liver cancer or hepatocellular carcinoma, he has accumulated during his career a long practice on how dealing with such lethal disease, that commonly it is associated with liver cirrhosis. He studied mechanisms by which hepatitis C infection can increase the risk for HCC in humans by triggering liver angiogenesis in addition to well known consequences of chronic inflammation such as necrosis, fibrosis and liver regeneration.

Scientific Activities

Awards and Experience Abroad:

• Roberto Mazzanti, won a Welcome Trust Fellowship and between November 1984 to April 1986 worked at the Royal Free Hospital , London, UK, with Prof. Dame Sheila Sherlock first and Prof. Neil McIntyre then.
• In 1988 he spent near 10 months at Tufts University, Boston, MA, working with Prof. Irwin M. Arias. In this period of time he was awarded with the Annual Prize for Research by the American Liver Foundation for his studies on the multi drug resistant phenotype in cancer cells (Chicago, November 5th, 1988).
