Biography

I am Giuseppe Lanza, born in Catania (Italy) in 1982. After a 6-years activity as Senior Academic Researcher and Associate Professor, I currently serve as Full Professor and Dean of Applied Medical Sciences Techniques at the University of Catania. After graduation with honours in Medicine, I trained at the School of Neurology and I got the international PhD at the same University. As visiting Clinical Research Fellow, I further trained at the Department of Neuroscience and at the Clinical Neurophysiology Unit of the Newcastle University, Newcastle-upon-Tyne (UK). In 2013, I was selected for a Scientific Fellowship promoted by the European Federation of Neurological Societies (EFNS). From 2013 to October 2018, I worked as a Consultant Neurologist at the Oasi Research Institute–IRCCS in Troina (Italy), which is a Collaborating Center of the World Health Organization, and where now I currently hold the position of Head of the Clinical Neurophysiology Research Unit. From 2015 to October 2018, I taught Neurology at the University of Enna (Italy), where I have recently come back to continue teaching activities. I have authored more than 250 publications in internationally-indexed peer-reviewed Journals and Conferences or Meetings, and I currently serve as Editor and invited Reviewer of several international Journals. More recently, I have obtained the Master of Science in Clinical Research and an international award for translational research in sleep medicine. To date, the Scopus h-index is 43, along with >3,800 citations.
