Ranieri Rossi serves as Associate Professor of Pharmacology (GSD: 05/BIOS-11, SSD: BIOS-11/A) in the Department of Biotechnology, Chemistry and Pharmacy at the University of Siena, Italy. His academic responsibilities include teaching Pharmacology for the Master's degree in Health Biology (2025/2026) and Toxicology for the 5-year Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology program. Based in room C_02_113 at Via Aldo Moro 2, Siena, he maintains regular office hours on Tuesdays from 09:00-10:00 by prior arrangement.
Professor Rossi's research centers on oxidative stress mechanisms and redox biology, with particular emphasis on glutathione metabolism in disease pathways. His work investigates NRF2 activation in triple-negative breast cancer survival, melatonin's cytoprotective effects against cadmium-induced male infertility, and eryptosis mechanisms in erythrocytes. This pharmacological research extends to translational applications in veterinary science and food technology, examining dietary supplements in livestock models for improving meat quality, athletic performance in horses, and gut health in piglets.
Analysis of his 2023-2025 publications reveals a strong interdisciplinary trajectory spanning human pharmacology, cancer biology, and agricultural science. His work demonstrates consistent focus on thiol-based redox regulation across diverse biological systems—from molecular studies of protein glutathionylation to whole-animal models of oxidative stress. The integration of basic biochemical mechanisms with practical applications in nutrition and toxicology represents a distinctive feature of his scholarly contributions.
