After graduating in Medicine in 2006, Pietro Ameri completed the residency and received his PhD in 2014 at the University of Genova, Italy. He is now Associate Professor in Cardiovascular Diseases at the University of Genova / IRCCS San Martino Policlinic Hospital, where he directs the Heart Failure and Pulmonary Hypertension clinical programs, as well as a translational research laboratory. Prof. Ameri's primary interest is heart failure. He is also involved in cardio-oncology, especially with respect to the interplay between heart failure, cancer, and anti-cancer therapies. If he was asked to bring a book, a movie, and a song with him on a desert island, today he would pick The catcher in the rye, The big Lebowski, and Hey you.
