Gino works at the interface of molecular/cellular biology, translational immunology and data-rich disease biology. His research focuses on systemic sclerosis, macrophage–fibroblast communication and fibrotic tissue remodelling, with particular interest in cardiovascular complications such as pulmonary hypertension, myocardial fibrosis and right ventricular adaptation.
The common thread is translational: moving from disease biology and tissue-level mechanisms toward biomarker pipelines, patient stratification and therapeutic target identification.
