Fabio Bucchieri

Prof. Fabio Bucchieri is a Full Professor at the University of Palermo specializing in Biomedicine and Neuroscience. His research focuses on bio-engineering mucosal tissues, studying chronic respiratory diseases (Asthma/COPD), and exploring microgravity effects on human tissues. He develops synthetic vascular scaffolds and 3D microfluidic models. Key areas include molecular chaperones (Hsp60/70), extracellular vesicles, and probiotic therapies.

Research projects include ex vivo respiratory mucosa models for COPD treatment evaluation, inflammatory pathways in bronchial epithelium, and space medicine applications. He collaborates on anatomical studies, publishing works like Anatomia Clinica and Atlante Fotografico Anatomia Macroscopica.

Publications highlight interdisciplinary approaches in pulmonology, oncology, and neurodegenerative diseases. His work bridges basic science and clinical applications, emphasizing translational research in biomaterials and regenerative medicine.
