Prof. Gualtiero Alvisi

Information

Gualtiero Alvisi is an Associate Professor of Microbiology at University of Pauda. He obtained a PhD Molecular and Cellular Biotechnologies from Bologna University, Italy in 2005, under the supervision of Dr. Alessandro Ripalti, working on the characterization of the nuclear import pathway of Human Cytomegalovirus DNA polymerase holoenzyme. During is PhD and his subsequent PostDoctoral studies he worked for 3 years in the group of Prof. David Jans, Department of Biochemistry and Molecluar Biology at Monash University (Clayton, Victoria, Australia). In 2007, he returned University of Bologna to continue his studies on Herpesviridae DNA polymerases under the supervision of Dr. Alessandro Ripalti, at the Department of Specialistic and Experimental Medicine. In 2009 he moved to University of Heidelberg to join the group of Prof. Ralf Bartenchlager at the Department of Molecular Virology to study the relationship between Dengue and Hepatitis C Virus and the host cell, focusing on the identification of host factors important for viral replication and lipid metabolism. From 2011 he moved to University of Padua, where he established his own research group (http://gualtax.wixsite.com/alvisilab). The focus of Gualtiero's research is the relationship between infectious agents and infected cells, with particular attention to protein-protein interactions and nucleocytoplasmic trafficking, allowing virus replication and promoting disease establishment.
