Alessandro Campanella

Alessandro Campanella is a Fixed-term Researcher at Vita-Salute San Raffaele University, affiliated with the Department of Experimental Oncology. His research focuses on iron homeostasis in oncology, particularly in multiple myeloma (MM) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), with a focus on ferroptosis as a therapeutic strategy. He has also contributed to understanding iron metabolism in prostate cancer and anemia in MM models.

Education:

• PhD in Molecular Medicine, Vita-Salute San Raffaele University

Research Interests: Iron's role in neurodegenerative diseases, tumor cell death mechanisms, immune reprogramming in CLL, and the interplay between iron homeostasis and androgen signaling in prostate cancer. His work explores targeting ferroptosis in tumor microenvironments to inhibit proliferation and restore immune function.

Scientific Awards:

• AIRC 'TRIDEO' Prize for Oncological Research

Teaching Roles: Lecturer in experimental molecular techniques and cellular biology for graduate programs in Health Informatics and Biotechnological Research at Vita-Salute San Raffaele University since 2015.
