14th Biomedicines Webinar
Emerging Trends in Pathophysiology and Therapy of COVID-19
I am pleased to serve as the Chairman of this webinar on Emerging Trends in Pathophysiology and Therapy of COVID-19.
Although the worst of the SARS CoV-2 pandemic is behind us, many questions and issues persist. Systemic manifestations due to COVID-19 infections and long COVID continue to emerge in multiple countries. There are a few new USA FDA-approved vaccines available in addition to the Moderna, Pfizer, and Johnson and Johnson ones, but vaccine effectiveness and immunologic memory appear to be limited in most patients.
Therapies are available and should be incorporated into treatment plans for COVID-19 patients. Although the focus of these therapies is on hospitalized COVID-19 patients, orally delivered medications are now administered by health care providers.
This webinar will present discussions on these issues, as well as emerging trends, to understand COVID-19 infections and transmissibility more fully.

Biological Markers for Pulmonary Fibrosis Sequelae Post-COVID-19
Dr. D'Alessandro started her research in translational medicine for lung diseases with the project "Interaction between solid lipid nanoparticles and respiratory epithelial cells: in vitro study of uptake and biocompatibility". Since then, D'Alessandro has researched novel biomarkers of diffuse lung diseases, asthma, COVID-19, and lung transplantation. Her research focuses on the immune system in different biological matrices - including bronchoalveolar lavage of fibrotic interstitial lung disease patients and the validation of novel biomarkers such as the Krebs von den Lungen-6 and extracellular vesicles.

Biological Markers for Pulmonary Fibrosis Sequelae Post-COVID-19
Dr. Gangi is a PhD candidate in the Respiratory Diseases Unit at the University of Siena. Her project focuses on the analysis of prognostic and diagnostic biomarkers in fibrotic interstitial lung diseases, COVID-19, and lung transplants. Dr. Gangi has developed a good knowledge base on cell culture, flow cytometry analysis, and chemiluminescent methods. She worked on the development of a novel fibroblast cell line isolated by bronchoalveolar lavage of IPF patients. She has authored/coauthored 17 research documents and given lectures at national/international congresses.
