Carlo Pellicciari
University of Pavia, Italy

Carlo Pellicciari graduated in Biological Sciences summa cum laude at the University of Pavia, Italy (1975). Visiting Professor for the Japan Society for Promotion of Science at the Department of Pathology, Fukui Medical School, Fukui, Japan (1982-1983), he has been associate professor (1985-1999) and then full professor of Cytology and Histology at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Pavia. He is the past-President and currently member of the Managing Board of the Italian Society of Histochemistry and member of the editorial board of the Journal of Applied Biomedicine, the Journal of Histology, and the Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology. His main research interests have been cell proliferation and apoptotic cell death, and these investigations have mostly been performed by histochemical techniques at light and electron microscopy. Over the last few years he has been working on the apoptogenic effect of photosensitizing molecules and fluorogenic substrates for photodynamic therapy.
