Francesco Marchesi

Dr Francesco Marchesi is a Clinical Professor in Anatomic Veterinary Pathology at the University of Glasgow's Veterinary School. He specializes in veterinary pathology, immunology, oncology, and infectious diseases, with a focus on molecular mechanisms underlying disease processes in animals. His work spans diverse species including cats, dogs, cattle, and laboratory mice, addressing conditions like fibrosis, tumor biology, and immune-mediated disorders.

Research interests include:

• Fibrosis regulation in lung injury
• Immune responses in infectious diseases
• Oncogenesis and tumor pathology
• Animal model development for human diseases
• Diagnostic innovations in veterinary medicine

Recent articles highlight advancements in understanding pathogen adaptation, autophagy mechanisms, and humane euthanasia protocols for laboratory animals. His collaborative work bridges basic science and clinical practice, emphasizing translational insights for veterinary medicine.

Notable contributions include studies on Mycobacterium avium infections in immunocompromised cats and molecular pathways in ABIN1 mutation-induced pathology. He also investigates novel diagnostic tools like Raman spectroscopy for trypanosomiasis detection.
