As an experienced Otolaryngologist-Head and Neck Surgeon with a robust academic and clinical foundation, I have dedicated my career to advancing the diagnosis and treatment of head and neck conditions through both innovation and multidisciplinary collaboration. My academic journey began with a medical degree from the University of Bari in 1999, followed by specialization in otolaryngology at the University of Parma. During this time, I broadened my expertise with observerships at renowned institutions such as the House Ear Institute in Los Angeles and the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.
Over the past two decades, I have held pivotal roles in some of Italy’s leading medical institutions, including the National Cancer Institute “Regina Elena” in Rome and Humanitas Research Hospital in Milan. As Head of Thyroid and Parathyroid Surgical Pathways at Humanitas, I have spearheaded efforts to integrate cutting-edge techniques like minimally invasive and robotic surgery into clinical practice, improving patient outcomes and quality of life.
Leadership has been central to my professional identity. I have chaired multidisciplinary teams for thyroid and head-and-neck oncology, fostering collaboration across surgical, oncological, and diagnostic disciplines to provide personalized, holistic care. Beyond my clinical contributions, I have engaged in academia as a professor and director of specialty training programs, nurturing the next generation of medical professionals.
My research portfolio reflects a commitment to innovation, with numerous publications in high-impact journals such as Head and Neck and Laryngoscope. These works explore themes ranging from oncologic reconstruction using free flaps to advancements in laser laryngeal surgery. As a member of editorial boards and a peer reviewer for prominent journals, I strive to contribute to the global discourse in otolaryngology.
Recognition from esteemed bodies, including memberships in the European Head and Neck Society and editorial leadership roles, underscores my dedication to excellence. As I look ahead, my mission remains clear: to advance otolaryngology through research, education, and a patient-centered approach to care.
