معرفی
Dr. Daniel Armenia is an Associate Professor of Microbiology and Clinical Microbiology at the University of Rome Saint Camillus International University of Health Sciences. He holds a degree in Pharmaceutical Biotechnology from the University of Bologna and a PhD in Medical Microbiology and Immunology from the University of Rome Tor Vergata. His research focuses on virology, particularly HIV, hepatitis viruses (HBV/HCV), and mechanisms of antiviral drug resistance. He has conducted studies on viral evolution, resistance mutations, and treatment optimization in diverse patient populations, including pediatric and treatment-experienced individuals. His work spans Italy and Cameroon, addressing challenges in resource-limited settings. Dr. Armenia has authored numerous peer-reviewed articles and contributed to international conferences, emphasizing translational research and clinical outcomes.
Education:
- Bachelor's in Pharmaceutical Biotechnology, University of Bologna
- PhD in Medical Microbiology and Immunology, University of Rome Tor Vergata
Research Interests: Dr. Armenia’s work centers on antiretroviral resistance mechanisms, viral reservoirs in HIV, and the impact of treatment adherence. He investigates drug resistance dynamics in HBV/HCV and explores novel antiviral strategies. His research also evaluates viral tropism, genotypic/phenotypic resistance analysis, and the application of next-generation sequencing in clinical virology.
Publications: His recent work includes studies on HIV DNA load correlations with resistance, viral reservoirs under long-acting therapies, and pediatric dolutegravir efficacy. He has contributed to understanding resistance mutations in integrase inhibitors and their clinical implications.
Professional Experience: Dr. Armenia has held a research fellowship at the University of Rome Tor Vergata’s Virology department and collaborated internationally with clinical research centers and diagnostic companies.
