معرفی
Eugenio Bertelli is an Associate Professor of Human Anatomy at the University of Siena since 2002. He holds editorial board roles at J Histochem Cytochem, J Mol Histol, and Anat Cell Biol. His teaching spans Human Anatomy courses for Biological Sciences, Pharmacy, Ophthalmology, and Surgical Specialties. Bertelli’s research focuses on mucosal immunology, pancreatic cell biology, ocular anatomy, and vascular anatomy. Key contributions include studies on pancreatic islet-ductal interactions, M-cell antigen transport, and Salmonella-induced immune responses. His work bridges histology, clinical anatomy, and immunopathology. Recent publications explore anatomical variations, hepatic steatosis mechanisms, and epiretinal membrane biology. He has authored textbooks like Atlante Fotografico Anatomia Macroscopica.
Education:
- MD, University of Siena (1988)
- PhD in Morphological Sciences (1996)
- Postdoctoral Fellowships at Université de Montréal (1995-1997) and University of Siena (1997-1998)
Research Interests:
- Mucosal Immunology: Focus on M-cells, antigen transport, and gut immunity
- Pancreatic Cell Biology: Endocrine-exocrine interactions, islet-ductal relationships
- Ocular Anatomy: Retinal pathologies, epiretinal membrane composition
- Vascular Anatomical Variations: Clinical implications in surgery and imaging
Recent Research Trends: His articles emphasize anatomical variation documentation (e.g., temporal arteries, ethmoidal foramina), experimental models of metabolic disease (liver steatosis), and translational studies on epiretinal membrane proteins. Collaborations include investigations into Salmonella pathogenesis and lymphatic dysfunction in lymphedema.
Professional Activities: Active in anatomical education, editorial work, and clinical-anatomical interface research. No grants/advising details explicitly reported in sources.
