BIOGRAPHY:
Giulio Tarro graduated from
Medicine School, Naples University (1962). Research Associate, Division of
Virology and Cancer Research, Children’s Hospital (1965-1968), Assistant
Professor of Research Pediatrics, College Medicine (1968-1969), Cincinnati
University, Ohio. Oncological Virology Professor, Naples University
(1972-1985). Chief Division Virology (1973-2003), Head Department Diagnostic
Laboratories, (2003-2006). D. Cotugno Hospital for Infectious Diseases, Naples;
Emeritus, 2006 -. Since 2007 Chairman Committee of Biotechnologies and
VirusSphere, World Academy Biomedical Technologies, UNESCO, Adjunct Professor
Department Biology, Temple University, College of Science and Technology,
Philadelphia, recipient of the Sbarro Health Research Organization lifetime achievement
award (2010). President Foundation de Beaumont Bonelli for Cancer Research. His
basic researches have been concerned with antigens induced early during the
replication cycle of human herpesviruses. Another study has involved the
identification, isolation and characterization of specific virus-induced tumour
antigens, which were the "finger-prints" left behind in human
cancer.Achievements include patents in field; discovery of Respiratory
Syncytial Virus in infant deaths in Naples and of tumor liberated protein as a
tumor associated antigen, 55 kilodalton protein overexpressed in lung tumors
and other epithelial adenocarcinomas.
