Francesca Santilli, MD, PhD, is a leading physician-scientist whose work has substantially advanced the understanding of platelet biology, thrombo-inflammation, and cardio-metabolic disease. Her research focuses on mechanisms of platelet activation, interindividual variability in response to low-dose aspirin, and the interplay between inflammation, oxidative stress, and metabolic dysfunction. She has led major national and international projects, including studies on oxidative stress regulation in aspirin-treated diabetes, peripheral blood megakaryocyte maturation, and the effects of JAK inhibitors on thrombopoiesis in inflammatory disease. Her work has also contributed key insights into biomarkers—such as proteomic signatures, microRNAs, and extracellular vesicles—for cardiovascular and metabolic risk stratification. Additional research explores megakaryocyte biology, accelerated platelet turnover, and the impact of emerging therapies including GLP-1 receptor agonists, SGLT2 inhibitors, and PCSK9 inhibitors. Through extensive collaborations across molecular medicine, proteomics, rheumatology, cardiology, and infectious diseases, she has established interdisciplinary frameworks linking platelet function to diabetes, obesity, MASLD, and vascular disease.

He has contributed to high-impact studies published in Nature and Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy, including investigations uncovering the landscape of somatic mutations in normal tissues and the critical role of VAV2 in DNA repair and radiotherapy resistance. His research also explores noncoding RNA–mediated regulatory networks in liver cancer, notably identifying the oncogenic function of ELF3-AS1 through its modulation of the miR-98-5p/CPSF4 axis. Collectively, his publications provide important insights into genomic instability, tumor microenvironment dynamics, and potential molecular targets for improving therapeutic outcomes. His translational research aims to bridge molecular mechanisms with clinical oncology to support precision cancer treatment and advance strategies for overcoming therapy resistance.
