Annalisa Berzigotti, M.D., Ph.D.
(Bologna, Italy, 27.12.1973)
Education and Training
Dr. Berzigotti received her pre-doctoral education at the University of Bologna (Italy). Here she graduated in Medicine in 1998, obtaining her degree summa cum laude. She achieved a post-graduate certificate in Ultrasonography in 1999. In 2004 she specialized summa cum laude in Internal Medicine and in 2009 she obtained an Academic Doctorate (Ph.D.) on Ultrasound in Medicine, discussing a thesis about ultrasound parameters predicting Her post-doctoral education was held in Barcelona, Spain where in 2010 she completed the Master in Research on Liver Diseases (University of Barcelona, UB); in 2011 she obtanied a post-graduate certificate in Methodology in Biostatistic at the Autonom University of Barcelona (UAB), Spain. In 2012 she obtained an Academic Doctorate (Ph.D.) in Medicine at UB summa cum laude and earned the Special Mention prize of UB discussing a thesis on the use of new non-invasive methods for the evaluation of cirrhosis and portal hypertension. Field of interest, research experience and present position
Dr. Berzigotti clinical and academic interest regards liver diseases, and in particular cirrhosis and portal hypertension. During the residency in Internal Medicine she was accepted as a research fellow at the Hepatic Hemodynamic Laboratory, Liver Unit, University of Barcelona (UB), Spain (1 year, 2000-2001). After completing the residency she was clinical research fellow at the department of Internal Medicine and Hepatology, University of Bologna (4 years, 2004 to 2008). She then moved to Barcelona, where she had a contract as Specialist at the Ultrasound Section of the Imaging Center of the Hospital Clinic, Barcelona, Spain (2008-2012). Since 2009 she is Post-Doctoral Researcher at the Fundación Clinic, Hospital Clinic, Barcelona (Spain), where she is developing research projects about clinical aspects of cirrhosis, and on hepatic hemodynamics and non-invasive methods in the diagnosis and follow-up of portal hypertension. She actively participates in the education and training of fellows in the hepatic hemodynamics laboratory, and of residents of Radiology program; in 2012 she was clinical professor of ultrasound for UB; in 2010-2013 she was member of the faculty of the Master in Research on Liver Diseases of the UB. Research Achievements
Dr. Berzigotti is author of 78 publications in peer-reviewed international journals in the field of liver diseases (53 original articles, 15 reviews, 5 case reports, 3 letters to the editor and 2 editorials; total IF 566.659), and of 11 book chapters about clinical and diagnostic aspects of portal hypertension (see the enclosed publications list). She also authored 10 publications on national journals and more than 60 abstracts. Annalisa Berzigotti was the presenting author of 31 of them in international medical congresses. Her main contributions in the field include: a) the development of new non-invasive tools to diagnose and follow-up patients with portal hypertension and its complications; b) the identification of obesity as a major independent risk factor for the progression of cirrhosis, and c) the characterization of drugs (isosorbide mononitrate; NCX-1000; simvastatin) and antioxidants (dark chocolate) able to modulate hepatic endothelial dysfunction in cirrhosis. She has been invited to give lectures about clinical and diagnostic aspects of portal hypertension in 38 national and international medical meetings. In 2013 she earned the “Raising star in Gastroenterology and Hepatology” prize of the Spanish Society of digestive diseases (SEPD). Scientific Societies
Dr. Berzigotti is member of the Spanish Association for the Study of the Liver (AEEH), the Italian Association for the Study of the Liver (AISF), Spanish society of digestive diseases (SEPD), the Italian Society of Internal Medicine (SIMI), the Italian Association of Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (SIUMB), the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) and the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL). In 2013 she has been appointed as member of the Annual Meeting Education Committee of the American Association for the Study of the Liver (AASLD) for 2013-2015, and by the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) as a reviewer for the International Since 2013 she is part of the Editorial Board of the World Journal of Hepatology. She serves as a reviewer for international journals in the field of liver diseases and ultrasound in the following journals: Hepatology, Journal of Hepatology, American Journal of Gastroenterology, Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Alimentary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, European Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, BMC Gastroenterology, Digestive and Liver diseases, Liver International, Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic diseases international, European Journal of Internal Medicine, Clinics and Research in Hepatology and Gastroenterology, Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, Ultraschall in der Medizin.
