Pubblicazioni scientifiche

Le attività di ricerca traslazionale finalizzate alla messa a punto dei protocolli clinici hanno portato alla stesura di lavori che hanno consentito di essere presenti in convegni nazionali ed internazionali e di pubblicare su riviste internazionali. Qui di seguito si riporta l’elenco dei lavori originali pubblicati su riviste internazionali dal 2008 ad oggi.
