Luigi Luigi

Luigi Luigi is a Full Professor in the Department of Human and Health Sports Sciences at the University of Rome "Foro Italico", where he also serves as the Delegate for Scientific Research and Technology Transfer and Head of the Endocrine Research Laboratory. His academic work bridges sports medicine, endocrinology, and metabolic health, with a strong focus on gender-specific responses and doping prevention.

His research interests include:

• Endocrinology applied to physical activity and sport
• Muscle endocrinology and in vitro hormone production
• Hormone doping and ergogenic supplements
• Lifestyle, wellness, and metabolic health
• Gender differences in glucose and reproductive metabolism
• Neuroendocrine responses to physical stress

His recent publications highlight a consistent focus on the intersection of exercise, metabolism, and endocrine regulation, particularly in the context of type 2 diabetes, postprandial responses, muscle recovery, and systemic inflammation. His work combines clinical studies with in vitro models to explore molecular mechanisms.

Scientific contributions include publications in journals such as Biology, International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, and Frontiers in Endocrinology. While no awards are listed, his leadership roles and active research output indicate significant recognition.

Luigi Luigi advises students in the Bachelor's and Master's programs in Sport and Movement Sciences, including courses in internal medicine, endocrinology, and sports medicine. He leads the Endocrine Research Laboratory, where in vitro and clinical studies on muscle and endocrine function are conducted. He is involved in international research cooperation and institutional research strategy.

Research facilities include the Endocrine Research Laboratory located on the ground floor, Room 13, at Piazza L. de Bosis 6, Rome.
