Oncogenic Viruses 2023 - A tribute to Massimo Tommasino

Prof. Massimo Tommasino gave outstanding scientific contributions to oncogenic virology.

His functional research, by both in vitro and in vivo experimental models, focused on the characterization of the transforming properties of well-established and novel oncogenic viruses, as well as on biology of beta HPVs. In addition, his epidemiological studies focused on the detection of a large number of infectious agents in human biospecimens to explore possible novel cancer associations. He was one of the most influential member of our scientific community and had exceptional scientific and personal skills.
