Paolo Bellavite (b. 1952) graduated in Medicine and Surgery from the University of Trieste in 1976 and specialized in Clinical and Laboratory Hematology in 1979. He also earned a Master of Science in Biotechnology from Cranfield University (UK) and a postgraduate diploma in Health Statistics and Epidemiology. He taught General Pathology at the University of Verona from 1980 to 2017 and at the University of Ngozi (Burundi) from 2010 to 2019, at the latter as part of cooperative projects. His and his research group's main areas of study have focused on the molecular and cellular aspects of inflammation and vascular diseases. He has developed numerous laboratory techniques based on spectrophotometric measurements, some of which on granulocytes and platelets have been applied by many international groups. Since 1989, he has explored the new field of complementary medicine, integrating laboratory knowledge (from in vitro cell research to molecular biology) with clinical expertise (through observational epidemiological studies). He has focused in particular on the study of the scientific aspects of homeopathy, with results that have placed his group at the forefront internationally. He is among the founders of the Observatory for Complementary Medicine, the first initiative of its kind in Italy, which he promoted in 1997 and was adopted by the Order of Surgeons and Dentists and the University of Verona in 2000. Until May 17, 2021, he continued his research at the University of Verona, Department of Medicine, as a Research Fellow. After his collaboration with the university was unfortunately terminated, he continued his activities as a lecturer at the School of Homeopathic Medicine in Verona and as an independent researcher. His most recent research interests include complementary medicine, nutraceuticals and insulin resistance, vaccinology (particularly post-vaccine adverse events), and early home care for COVID-19. He is the author of over 300 publications, 175 of which are peer-reviewed in the PubMed database, and 15 books. He is one of the "Top Italian Scientists" with an H-index of 56.
