After graduating in Medicine in 2006, Pietro Ameri completed the residency and received his PhD in 2014 at the University of Genova, Italy.
He is now Associate Professor in Cardiovascular Diseases at the University of Genova / IRCCS San Martino Policlinic Hospital, where he leads a translational research laboratory. He also directs the Cardio-oncology service and co-directs the Heart Failure/Pulmonary Hypertension outpatient program. He is currently Secretary of the ESC Council of Cardio-oncology.
Pietro Ameri's research group includes biologists, biotechnologists and physicians and is funded by several grants. His primary interests are heart failure and cardio-oncology, especially with respect to the interplay between heart failure, cancer, and anti-cancer therapies.
If he was asked to bring a book, a movie, and a song with him on a desert island, today he would pick One hundred years of solitude, Jojo Rabbit, and Born to run.
