An acknowledgment that encourages the pursuit of high-quality research
The faculty members affiliated with UniCamillus are included in the ranking for the 2022 calendar year, and they have expressed their enthusiasm and satisfaction for this recognition.
Professor Cozza extends her thanks for the trust placed in her by the UniCamillus Rector, Professor Gianni Profita, who has provided her with “the great opportunity to establish a new School of Clinical Research at UniCamillus for all those who still have the desire to engage in research”.
For her part, Professor Gualano, promises to continue making a substantial contribution to research in the field of public health, particularly in “addressing emerging global issues such as public mental health”.
Professor Covani, the former President of the Istituto Stomatologico Toscano, reiterates his satisfaction in leading the research group, “a result of the collaboration between UniCamillus and IST“. Professor Piattelli echoes this sentiment, stressing the importance of research as “the essence of life and of being human”. He has been “dedicated to scientific research, both experimental and clinical, for more than 40 years” and hopes that the work of his group will serve as “a basis for new and further studies”.
New studies must find a driving force, according to Professor Unfer, who is the world’s leading scientist in the study of inositol’s use in Gynaecology – aiming to improve the fertility of women with polycystic ovary syndrome. Unfer is delighted to be recognised among the world’s most cited scientists in his field, to which he has devoted “years of hard work, dedication, and passion.”
Professor Picardo, who also directs the Istituto Dermatologico Gallicano, also expressed his satisfaction and praise for the collaboration. He describes this recognition as “the result of the activity of a group of competent researchers, highly motivated, with the ability to constantly improve their skills and establish collaborations with other qualified groups”.
