Vincenzo CANTALUPPI

Vincenzo Cantaluppi is a Full Professor in the Department of Translational Medicine at the University of Eastern Piedmont 'Amedeo Avogadro'. His research focuses on acute kidney injury (AKI), extracellular vesicles, sepsis, and renal transplantation. He leads several projects funded by the Italian Ministry of Education, University, and Research (MIUR), including studies on epigenetic factors in AKI progression and the therapeutic use of mesenchymal stromal cells in critical illness.

• Academic Roles: Full Professor, Principal Investigator (PI) of multiple grants.
• Research Interests: AKI pathophysiology, extracellular vesicle biology, and cardio-renal interactions.

He has authored 196+ publications, with a focus on biomarkers for pulmonary arterial hypertension, SARS-CoV-2 immune responses, and renal outcomes in critical care. Collaborations span Italy and involve studies on hemoadsorption therapies and cellular senescence.

Recent projects include investigating adipose-derived stem cells in lung injury and epigenetic mechanisms in sepsis-associated AKI. His work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to health equity.
