biography

Fulvio Magni currently holds the position of Professor in the Department of Medicine and Surgery, University Milano Bicocca.he worked has Researcher at the Mass Spectrometry Laboratory of the IRCCS S. Raffaele of Milan, Italy 2002 Associate Professor at the University of Milano-Bicocca.He received his Ph.D. degree in Pharmacology and Toxicology.In the last years he has been activated several lines of activity in the Clinical Proteomics field aimed to search biomarkers in solid (tissues and cellular cultures) and fluid biological samples by mass spectrommetry. In collaboration with clinical units (urologist and anatomo-pathologist) and with life science units (biochemist and clinical biochemist) he has begun a wide project aimed to define the proteome of the normal and of the renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and of subcellular fractions. Today he has extended his activity to study the proteome of biological fluids (serum, plasma, urine and amniotic liquor) to search possible biomarkers in several pathologies: renal cell carcinoma, diabetic nephropathy, and preterm premature rupture of membranes.Very recently he has started the application of the “imaging by mass spectrometry” techniques to investigate the spatial distribution of proteins analyzing directly the tissues. He is applying this new technology to study the thyroid tumor and the chronic kidney disease
