Developed skills and lines of research
Luca Frulloni earned his medical degree from the University of Perugia in 1987 and his PhD from the University of Padua in 1996. Since 2015, he has been a full professor and head of the Gastroenterology Unit at the Integrated University Hospital of Verona.
He conducts research in the field of pancreatic disorders, focusing on pathophysiology, clinical diagnosis, and therapeutic aspects at the Verona Pancreas Study Center. For the FFC Ricerca, he is studying intestinal organoids to evaluate and pharmacologically correct anomalies in fluid transport and anionic currents in patients with chronic pancreatitis.
He is the author of over 150 international publications, with more than 6,500 citations as of 2018.
