Welcome!

Dr. Michelangelo Certo is a distinguished researcher in the field of inflammation and metabolism. After earning his MSc and PhD from the University of Calabria, Italy, he pursued postdoctoral research focused on immune-brain interactions in ischemic injury. His career advanced with a Research Fellowship from the Italian Society of Pharmacology, leading him to University College London, where he expanded his work into chronic pain. Dr. Certo's research has consistently explored the intersection of metabolic and inflammatory pathways, particularly in chronic diseases like atherosclerosis and Sjögren's syndrome. Currently, he serves as a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Birmingham.                                                              >>
