Casoni Filippo Marco

Prof. Casoni Filippo Marco is an Associate Professor in Human Anatomy at Vita-Salute San Raffaele University, Milan, Italy. He holds expertise in human morphology, neurosciences, and developmental biology. His professional journey includes roles as a researcher at INSERM U837 (Lille, France), postdoctoral fellowships at NIH (USA) and Mario Negri Institute (Milan), and teaching at multiple universities. He is fluent in Italian, English, French, and basic German. Key awards include the Société de Neuroendocrinologie award (2013, 2012) and a poster award from the Italian Proteomic Society (2004). His research focuses on cerebellar neurobiology, retinal diseases, and cellular heterogeneity, with recent studies on calcium signaling in neurodegenerative disorders and Müller cell pathology in retinal diseases.

Education: PhD in Biosciences (Pavia University and Mario Negri Institute, 2004), Master’s in Bioscience (Pavia University, 2000). Training includes workshops on cell culture techniques and molecular spectroscopy. Grants include a Foundation pour la Recherche Medicale grant (2011–2013).

Research interests span cerebellar nuclei function, Purkinje cell development, and neurodegenerative biomarkers. He teaches human morphology in medical programs and contributes to ophthalmology-related studies. Current projects involve exploring therapeutic targets for retinal diseases and cholesterol’s role in sleep-related cognitive impairments.
