Corti Angelo

Angelo Corti is a Full Professor of Biochemistry at Vita-Salute San Raffaele University, Milan, and heads the Tumor Biology and Vascular Targeting Unit at the San Raffaele Scientific Institute. His career spans roles as a researcher, lecturer, and scientific leader in oncology and molecular medicine.

• Bachelor's Degree in Biological Sciences (Biochemistry Major), University of Milan (1978, Summa cum laude)
• Internship at University of Milan (1977-1978)

His research focuses on tumor biology, vascular targeting, and cytokine-based therapies, particularly exploring TNF-α, IFN-γ, chromogranin A, and integrin-targeting peptides. Key subfields include angiogenesis inhibition, engineered cytokines, and nanotheranostics. Recent publications highlight integrin-targeted imaging agents, collagen detection, and CD13 inhibition in cancer.

• Scientific Committees: AIRC Scholarships Scientific Committee, American Association for Cancer Research, European Society for Cancer Immunology and Immunotherapy
• Grants: Principal investigator for AIRC, CRUK, MURST, and pharmaceutical companies

He has co-supervised numerous theses and directed translational research on vascular targeting strategies like NGR-TNF, now in clinical trials. His lab develops engineered peptides and assays for tumor targeting and diagnostics.
