Federico Carbone

Prof. Federico Carbone is an Associate Professor of Internal Medicine at the University of Genoa (Italy). After earning his MD and completing his specialization in Internal Medicine with honors at the University of Genoa (2007 and 2013), he pursued a PhD in Cardiovascular, Renal, and Metabolic Biology and Pathophysiology. His doctoral research, conducted entirely at the Laboratory of Cardiology, Geneva University Hospital (Switzerland), shaped his expertise in translational medicine, with a focus on inflammation in cardiometabolic diseases.

Prof. Carbone has made significant contributions to research on inflammation, cardiovascular risk biomarkers, and metabolic disorders. By integrating human clinical studies with experimental models, his work addresses critical disease mechanisms and supports therapeutic development. He has authored over 236 peer-reviewed publications, achieved an H-index of 35 (Scopus), and accumulated a total Impact Factor of approximately 1150. His findings, published in high-impact journals, have advanced the understanding of atherosclerosis, metabolic syndrome, and novel cardiovascular biomarkers.

Beyond research, Prof. Carbone is a dedicated educator and leader. At the University of Genoa, he teaches across multiple degree programs and mentors medical students and residents. He serves as Vice-President of the European Society for Clinical Investigation (ESCI) and as Deputy Editor of the European Journal of Clinical Investigation. Additionally, he actively contributes as a reviewer and editorial board member for leading scientific journals.

Recognized with numerous grants and awards—including the Best Poster Award at the Geneva Clinical Research Center—Prof. Carbone also organizes international workshops and symposia to foster collaboration in cardiovascular and metabolic research. His work exemplifies the integration of clinical expertise and scientific innovation, advancing prevention and treatment strategies while mentoring the next generation of clinicians and scientists.
