Ciro ISIDORO

Ciro ISIDORO is a Full Professor at the Department of Health Sciences, University of Eastern Piedmont 'Amedeo Avogadro'. His research focuses on cancer biology, particularly autophagy mechanisms in ovarian cancer, lysosomal biology, and the therapeutic potential of natural compounds like resveratrol. He leads projects funded by institutions including the Regione Piemonte, MIUR, and the European Commission, investigating topics such as 3D organoid models, probiotic metabolites, and nanotheranostics.

Key projects include:

• BANP: DA COMPILARE (2013-2016, European Commission)
• In vitro 3D organoid modeling of colon carcinoma (2017-2021, Università Piemonte Orientale)
• FFABR 2017- Fondo di finanziamento per le attività base di ricerca (2018-2021, MIUR)
• Rigenerazione tissutale ossea da cellule staminali gengivali (2017-2019, Università Piemonte Orientale)

Research interests span autophagy regulation, tumor microenvironment dynamics, and epigenetic control by non-coding RNAs. He has published over 200 articles, with recent work emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches to cancer metabolism, drug delivery systems, and translational oncology. Collaborations include studies on neurodegenerative disorders, inflammatory bowel disease, and SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis.
