M.D. degree in 1976, University of Naples. 1980-1987 Staff Researcher of the Italian National Research Council (CNR) - Special Project "CCN"; 1988-1990 Associate Professor, 2nd Medical School, University of Naples, Italy; 1990-1995 Professor of Biochemistry, School of Medicine, University of Naples "Federico II"; 1995-present Professor of Molecular Biology, School of Medicine, University of Naples "Federico II"; 1993 Guest Scientist, Laboratory of Cell Biology, National Cancer Institute, NIH, Bethesda, USA; Starting from 1988, he obtained several research grants from Italian National Reserach Council, Special Project 'Ingegneria genetica', and from private (AIRC, Telethon) and public (ISS -AIDS project, CNR and MURST) Institutions. He was the coordinator of the "Grasping Alzheimer" project of the V Framework Project of the EC (2000-2003). He was responsible for one of the Research units of the APOPIS project of the VI Framework Project of the EC. He was also responsible for a research project funded by the Alzheimer's Association, USA (2004-2006). He is now responsible for one Research Units of the SIROCCO Consortium of the Framework Programme of the EC. Prof. Russo was a member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Biological Chemistry from 2003 to 2008 and from 2010 to 2015.
The research activity of Dr Russo concerned with the study of: i) the structure and the functions of the molecular adaptor Fe65 and its partner APP and their role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease; ii) the effects of oxygen free radicals on the regulation of transcription and signal transduction; iii) gene regulation in embryonic cell differentiation.
