Donato Inverso

Donato Inverso is a Researcher in the Department of General Pathology at Vita-Salute San Raffaele University. His research focuses on immunological mechanisms underlying metabolic disorders, liver diseases, and cancer biology. He specializes in investigating how immune cells and signaling pathways contribute to conditions such as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), liver cancer, and immune-mediated pathology.

His work integrates experimental medicine and pathophysiology, with recent emphasis on intercellular communication (e.g., nanotube-mediated mitochondrial transfer), T cell dysfunction in NASH, and therapeutic targets like co-signaling receptors in hepatitis B. He also explores regionalized medicine strategies to enhance localized immune responses.

Teaching responsibilities include courses in Pathology for medical degree programs, covering general pathology principles and clinical applications.

Publications highlight contributions to understanding immune mechanisms in liver diseases, viral infections, and cancer immunotherapy resistance. His research bridges basic science and clinical applications, with implications for developing targeted therapies for metabolic and oncological conditions.
