Welcome!

Dr. Michelangelo Certo is a distinguished researcher specializing in inflammation and metabolism. After earning his MSc and PhD from the University of Calabria, Italy, he pursued postdoctoral research on immune-brain interactions in ischemic injury. His career gained momentum with a Research Fellowship from the Italian Society of Pharmacology, leading him to University College London, where he expanded his focus to chronic pain.

 

Throughout his career, Dr. Certo has explored the intricate connections between metabolic and inflammatory pathways, particularly in chronic diseases such as atherosclerosis and Sjögren's syndrome. Currently, he is a Senior Research Scientist at the School of Infection, Inflammation, and Immunology at the University of Birmingham, where he continues to drive cutting-edge research in the field. He also serves as the BMSU Departmental Lead, further contributing to the advancement of biomedical research
