Gianni Testino

Gianni Testino serves as a Contract Professor within the Department of Health Sciences (DISSAL) at the University of Genoa, maintaining clinical operations at San Martino Polyclinic Hospital in Genoa. His academic responsibilities span the Nursing for Priority Health Problems and Prevention Techniques in Environment and Places degree programs, with dedicated office hours at the hospital's Pavilion 10.

His research specialization centers on alcohol-related pathologies with particular emphasis on:

• Alcoholic liver disease progression and diagnostic methodologies
• Cardiovascular complications in chronic alcoholism
• Occupational addiction prevention frameworks
• Pharmacological interventions for hepatopathy
• Alcohol-SARS-CoV-2 interaction mechanisms
• Non-invasive fibrosis staging techniques

Analysis of his 2013-2021 publications reveals consistent focus on clinical hepatology and addiction medicine, characterized by translational research bridging biochemical markers (oxidative stress), imaging diagnostics (echocardiography, ultrasound), and therapeutic applications (silymarin, SAMe). His work demonstrates particular attention to workplace addiction prevention and alcohol's multisystem pathophysiological impacts.

Professor Testino remains actively engaged in academic instruction, with confirmed teaching assignments for "Prevention of Addiction in the Workplace" (2025-2026) and "Gastroenterology" courses across multiple health science degree programs.
