Developed skills and lines of research
Alberto Battezzati is currently Health Director of the Center for the Assessment of Nutritional Status, University of Milan (ICANS) and Associate Professor, at the same University. He graduated in 1986 in Medicine and Surgery from the University of Milan. He has gained research experience in the field of nutritional and endocrine modulation of human metabolism using techniques based on the dilution of stable isotope-labeled tracers in vivo, assessment of nutritional status and, more recently, in the field of functional effects of foods. He currently studies the endocrine-metabolic, inflammatory, and behavioral aspects of the physiological response to meal and the relationship between nutritional status, metabolic set-up, energy expenditure, and lifestyle in normal subjects, those at risk for chronic-degenerative diseases, and those with genetic disorders. For several years he has been active in studies on glucose metabolism and diabetes in cystic fibrosis, in collaboration with the CF Center of Milan. He is author of more than 80 original publications in international journals with impact factor.
