Dr. Giovanni Damiani strongly believes in the “Physician Scientist,” which combines clinical evidence and research to solve challenging cases. His expertise is in cutaneous immune-mediated diseases (such as psoriasis), pathogenesis, and their pharmacological treatments. His efforts were concretized in 2019 with the establishment of the Italian Center for Precision Medicine and Chronic Inflammation at the University of Milan, where professionals with diverse expertise (i.e., biologists, bioinformaticians, doctors) collaborate to improve daily practice through translational research.

Dr. Damiani is an Associate Professor of Dermatology at the University of Milan. He earned a PhD in Pharmacology (2020–2024) from the University of Padua (Italy), an MSc in Pharmacovigilance, Pharmacoepidemiology, Pharmacoeconomics, and Real-World Evidence (2024–2025) from the University of Verona (Italy), and completed two postdoctoral fellowships: one in Dermato-Immunology (2018–2020) at Case Western Reserve University and another in Immunology of Oral Diseases (2020–2022) at the University of Milan.
