About
Amalia Gastaldelli is a leading researcher in metabolic physiology, with a primary focus on insulin resistance, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and type 2 diabetes. Her major contributions include pioneering work on the role of adipose tissue dysfunction and ectopic fat accumulation in metabolic disease, particularly through the use of advanced stable isotope tracers and imaging techniques. She has been instrumental in elucidating the pathogenesis of hepatic insulin resistance and the mechanisms linking NAFLD to cardiovascular risk. With over 20,000 citations, her work has profoundly shaped clinical understanding of metabolic disorders. Notably, she has led landmark studies on the effects of lifestyle interventions and pharmacological treatments on liver fat and glucose metabolism. Her research has earned her numerous awards, including the prestigious Minkowski Prize from the European Association for the Study of Diabetes. Dr. Gastaldelli’s integrated approach continues to drive translational insights from bench to bedside, making her a pivotal figure in metabolic research.
