Education and career
Raffaele Calogero graduated in Biological Sciences from the University of Naples “Federico II” in 1984. He spent two years (1985-1988) at Max Plank Institute fuer Mulekulare Genetic, Berlin (Germany) as research fellow. Since 1989 to 1992, he got a position a sresearch scientist at SORIN Biomedica S.p.A. (Italy). He was appointed as associated professor at University of Naples “Federico II” in 1992 and he moved to University of Turin in 1998. He is the founder of the Reproducible Bioinformatics Project[3], which is a community of developers focusing on the production of reproducible bioinformatics workflows. Since 2018, he is the representative for University of Turin at the General Assembly of Elixir Italian Node[4]. Since 2021, he is the president of the Bioinformatics Italian Society (BITS)>ref>Steering Committee :: Bioinformatics Italian Society</ref>. Since 2022, he is part of the steering committee of the FISV[5].
Research Interests
Raffaele Calogero research experience focuses on the development, optimization of bioinformatics analysis workflows and on mining transcription-based experiments, mainly in the oncology framework. An important aspect of his past and present work is the constant interest on new technologies (e.g. today single-cell omics and spatial transcriptomics) and their integration in bioinformatics analysis workflows.
Pubblications
The scientific results achieved by Raffaele Calogero are reported in over 180 peer-reviewed papers [6]. Raffaele Calogero has an H-index of 44 (according to SCOPUS[6]). Raffaele Calogero is also editor, together with Vladimir Benes, of the Book: “Single cell transcriptomics”, published by Springer in 2023[7].
