RUTELLA SERGIO Sergio Rutella, M.D. Ph.D., has been awarded the National Habilitation to the position of Associate Professor of Hematology/Oncology/Rheumatology in December 2013. He is currently Assistant Professor of Hematology at the Catholic University Med. School in Rome, and Director of the Immunohematology and Blood Transfusion Service at the IRCCS Bambino Gesù Children's Hospital in Rome, Italy. Dr Rutella is a physician-scientist with a long-term research experience in the immunological aspects of malignant hematology and in the cellular and molecular mediators of inflammation. Dr Rutella received his M.D. from the Catholic University of Rome in 1993 (summa cum laude), followed by residency and fellowship in Hematology in 1997 (with honors) and by a Ph.D. diploma in Experimental Hematology in 2001 (with honors). To date, Dr Rutella has published 173 scientific articles (5 editorials, 26 reviews, 124 full-length papers, 18 research letters) and 11 book chapters, mainly in the fields of immune tolerance and inflammation, hematological malignancies and stem cell transplantation (cumulative I.F. [2012] = 811.256; current H-index = 40) [Google Scholar]. In 2011, he has been included among the "100 Top Italian Scientists" (area: Hematology and Medicine; http://www.topitalianscientists.org/top_italian_scientists_via-academy.aspx). Dr Rutella has gained extensive experience in the management and appraisal of research staff, and has prepared and submitted successful grant applications to National funding bodies (Italian Association for Cancer Research, FILAS, Ministry of University and Scientific Research - MIUR/PRIN). Dr Rutella has given invited seminars at academic institutions in Italy (Univ of Bologna, Urbino, Milan), France (Burgundy) and the United Kingdom (Univ of Glasgow, Univ of Southampton, Univ of Oxford) and has lectured at national and international scientific meetings. He served as ad-hoc reviewer for high-impact scientific journals, in the field of both hematology and immunology, also also for international research fellowships (Lise Meitner Program, Austrian Science Fund; Research Grants Council, Hong Kong Research Council; Dutch Cancer Society; Danish Council for Independent Research; Leukemia Lymphoma Research UK; French National Research Agency (ANR), Programme de Recherche Translationnelle en Santè (PRTS), Association for International Cancer Research (AICR)) and as external examiner for international PhD programs in Molecular Medicine (Section of Basic and Applied Immunology; University Vita-Salute San Raffaele, Milan). Dr Rutella received merit awards in 2011, 2006, 2003 and 2002 from the American Association of Immunologists for research related to the field of tolerogenic dendritic cells, regulatory T cells and IDO1-driven inflammation, and a European Commiss Marie Curie Actions Scholarship to attend a ESH-BMTmeeting in 2005. Dr Rutella has teaching experience at both undergraduate (medical students) and post-graduate level (fellowship programs in hemy and clinical pathology), with teaching contracts in hematological oncology and stem cell biology at the Catholic University) and immunology (Nursing School, Univ. of Rome "Tor Vergata"). Dr Rutella's editorial activities include membership in the advsory editorial board of Current Medicinal Chemistry, IRN Hematology, World Journal of Stem Cells, American Journal of Translational Research, American Journal of Immunology and World Journal of Transplantation.
