Anna Maria Zicari

Anna Maria Zicari is an Associate Professor at the Department of Materno-Infantile and Urological Sciences, Università degli Studi di Roma La Sapienza. She specializes in pediatrics, allergology, and immunology, with a focus on oxidative stress, vaccine-induced immunity, and environmental health impacts on children.

• Teaches Allergology and Pediatrics in multiple clinical specialization programs since 2000
• Conducts research on allergic rhinitis, asthma, and NOX2-related oxidative stress mechanisms
• Principal investigator on projects about passive smoking effects in allergic children

Her recent publications (2025–2024) highlight advancements in pediatric allergology, including probiotic applications for atopic dermatitis, molecular insights into IgE cross-reactivity, and NOX2 enzyme dysfunction in genetic disorders. Key subfields include respiratory immunology, environmental toxicology, and microbiome research.

Clinical projects address allergic disease comorbidities, vaccine responses in children, and novel therapies for vernal keratoconjunctivitis. She collaborates with Italian pediatric societies on pandemic-era allergology guidelines and observational studies on long-COVID sequelae.
