Professor Michelangelo Campanella is internationally recognized as an expert in the cell biology and pharmacology of mitochondria. His research focuses on the mechanisms controlling the quality of mitochondrial function, signalling and interaction with other organelles. His work has informed the current understanding of bioenergy and dynamics interplay of the mitochondria for which he has devised pharmacological regulators. Recipient of several awards in research he has been the first to characterize the molecular mechanisms which control the mitochondrial consumption of ATP and the physical interaction which governs the functional interplay between mitochondria and nucleus in mammals. His dedication to biomedical research, academic support and service to scholars earned him the Paul Harris Fellowship from the Rotary Foundation in 2014 and the Talented Young Italian Award in 2015. In the same year he was named Fellow of the Royal Society of Biology. In 2018 he obtained a Consolidator Award by the European Research Council (ERC) in Life Science.
