Department of Medicine and Aging Science, University of Chieti-Pescara “G. d’Annunzio”Chieti | Italy

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. With over 160 high-impact publications and leadership roles in several scientific networks, her research continues to inform clinical translation and therapeutic optimization in thrombosis, hemostasis, and metabolic disorders.
