Giorgio Gargari | Personalized Medicine | Best Paper Award

Assist. Prof. Dr. Giorgio Gargari | Personalized Medicine | Best Paper Award

University of Milan | Italy

Assist. Prof. Dr. Giorgio Gargari is an accomplished researcher and academic in the Department of Food, Environmental and Nutritional Sciences at the University of Milan. His academic and research journey reflects a deep commitment to advancing the understanding of the intricate relationships between diet, the gut microbiome, and host physiology. With a strong foundation in biological sciences and food sciences, Dr. Gargari has developed expertise that bridges molecular biology, bioinformatics, and nutritional science, focusing on how dietary interventions influence microbiome composition and functionality. He is a highly skilled bioinformatician and biostatistician, proficient in computational biology, data analysis, and multi-omics integration. His work explores the triangular interaction between diet, microbiome, and host systems, aiming to elucidate how microbial ecosystems mediate the effects of food on health. His scientific approach integrates both experimental and computational methods to identify microbial pathways that contribute to human health and disease prevention. Dr. Gargari’s research has provided valuable insights into gut microbiome modulation through probiotics, polyphenol-rich diets, and microbial metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids. His publications demonstrate his capacity to translate complex biological data into clinically meaningful applications, particularly in the context of inflammatory regulation, gastrointestinal health, and precision nutrition.Dr. Gargari has published extensively in high-impact, peer-reviewed journals, contributing to a body of literature that continues to shape modern nutritional and microbiome research. His work has gained recognition in international conferences and scientific meetings, where he has been an invited speaker on topics such as microbial ecology in winemaking, gut microbiota modulation, and the metabolic effects of dietary components. He has also contributed to projects funded by major research institutions, coordinating studies on the transformation of agro-food waste into valuable biostimulants and microbial ecosystems for sustainable production.As an educator and academic leader, Dr. Gargari plays an active role in multiple degree programs, including Human Nutrition and Dietetics, Food Technology, and Bioinformatics for Comparative Genomics. He has supervised and mentored numerous students and has served on several thesis committees. His contributions to the scientific community have been recognized through various awards and international honors, reflecting his excellence in research, teaching, and innovation.
