He has consolidated multi-yearly experience in designing, planning and coordinating interventional and observational studies, and in data analyses.

His participation in numerous Italian or European research projects, focused on neurodegenerative diseases, metabolic disorders and infectious diseases, has resulted in more than one hundred ISI publications he co-authored.

Engaged as an expert in the definition of recommendations and Italian guidelines in clinical practice, he also held courses in research methodology, statistical analysis techniques, and relational databases in three Italian Universities.

The DSMB will be responsible for assessing the performance of the clinical trial (i.e. recruitment, enrolment, adherence to protocol, data quality, and likelihood of timely trial completion) and for advising the Trial Steering Committee as to whether the protocol used should continue to apply or whether it should be modified based on findings from the monitoring process.
