Prof. Galli's professional studies and career have dynamically contributed both nationally and internationally to the promotion, continuous development and use of risk assessment using a robust scientific approach and strongly supporting the use of mechanistic toxicology to improve the risk assessment process. Developing an original research program with emphasis on molecular and cellular mechanism for toxicity, including in vitro toxicology, Prof. Galli has assisted numerous students and professionals in the field by demonstrating how chemicals exposure cause adverse effects under various situations and in certain populations. Prof. Galli is author of more than 200 publications, and a member of numerous national and international scientific committees

Degree in Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Technologies in 2001, Specialized in Pharmacology in 2003, and PhD in Pharmaceutical Science in 2007 at the University of Naples, Federico II. Associate Professor since 2018 (SSD, BIO/14), Department of Pharmacy, University of Naples, Federico II. Author or co-author of numerous scientific publications in full in peer-reviewed journals, he has participated in international workshops and collaborates in the organization of numerous scientific congresses.
Main research topics:

• Evaluation of the analgesic activity of new drugs and characterization of the pharmaco-toxicological profile in in vitro and in vivo experimental models;
• Study of the activities of endocannabinoids;
• Assessments of inflammatory and neuro-inflammatory activity in in vitro and in vivo experimental models;
• Gut-brain correlations in CNS disorders
• Study of the physiological/pharmacological activities of long and short chain fatty acids

Senior Researcher in Pharmacology (RTDb) at the University of Messina. She obtained her master’s degree in pharmacy in 2013 and her PhD in Applied Biology and Experimental Medicine in 2017. She obtained two 2nd level university master’s degrees in Biostatistics and Epidemiological Methodology at the University of Pavia in 2018 and in Pharmacovigilance and Drug Regulatory Disciplines at the University of Verona in 2020.

She has attended Queen's University Belfast (UK) and Universitè de Bordeaux (FR) as research fellow.

In 2018, she received the SIF-Farmindustria award.

Her main research topics concern the study of the pharmaco-toxicological profile of natural drugs and the mechanisms of cell death.

Associate Professor of Pharmacology at the Alma Mater Studiorum - University of Bologna. Graduated in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology, PhD in Pharmacology and Toxicology, she was guest researcher at the Department of Neurobiology and Behavior of the University of California Irvine, USA. The research interests are focused on the cellular and molecular response to toxic agents and on the identification of neuroprotective compounds both in in vitro and in vivo models.

She's graduated at the University of Milan in Medicine and Surgery, with a specialization in Toxicology and Hepatology. She deals with clinical toxicology, particularly in the emergency setting. She works at the Pavia Poison Control Center where she provides specialized counseling, patient care and research. She has organized and managed numerous courses and conferences for emergency health care providers. She collaborates with National Institutions in working groups and projects.
