Profile
Prof. Dr. Pietro Gentile, PhD, is an Associate Professor of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery in the Departments of Surgical Science at the University of “Tor Vergata”, Rome, Italy. His research focuses on fat grafting, platelet rich plasma (PRP), Human follicle stem cells (HFSCs), biomaterials, adipose derived stem cells (ASCs) and Stromal Vascular Fraction cells (SVFs) developing novel strategies in regenerative field applied to plastic surgery. Specifically, he is considered a pioneer of the Regenerative Plastic Surgery.
Prof. Dr. Gentile is currently (2023-2025) the President of Academy of International Regenerative Medicine & Surgery Societies (AIRMESS).
He published as editor in chief three textbooks on regenerative plastic surgery, alopecia, and platelet-rich plasma.
He is the President of the Regenerative Plastic Surgery International Conference (annual leading congress of the regenerative plastic surgery) since 2023. The second edition is currently scheduled for 5-7 December 2024 in Rome, Italy.
He published over 150 peer-reviewed publications, all indexed in Pubmed, Wos and Scopus. With an H-index=51 and over 6000 citations according to Scopus is considered the most important scientist in the regenerative plastic surgery field.
科研分享
能否简单介绍一下您目前的研究领域？
My research focuses on fat grafting, platelet rich plasma (PRP), Human follicle stem cells (HFSCs), biomaterials, adipose derived stem cells (ASCs) and Stromal Vascular Fraction cells (SVFs) developing novel strategies in regenerative field applied to plastic surgery.
您在科研中遇到过什么样的困难？您又是如何克服的？
Early in my career, securing consistent funding to support my research was one of the greatest challenges I faced. For these reasons, I paied personally most of my researches, especially at the beginning.
I understood quickly that was necessary to survive especially at the beginning, aiming to emerge stronger and more resilient.
Finally, the current absence of a GMP lab is the new obstacle that I promise to myself to jump.
作为科研人员，什么类型的文章或是什么方向的研究是您感兴趣的？
As an editorial board member, I am particularly interested in articles that describe novel biomaterials, innovative approaches to plastic surgery using fat grafting and related adipose stem cells for reconstructive and regenerative purposes.
期刊发展
您对Bioactive Materials未来的发展以及推动相关领域的发展有何期待？
In the future, I would love to see a major interest and stronger integration between bioactive materials and plastic surgery. I would like to improve the quality of scientific papers on regenerative plastic surgery field, publishing EBM level 1 studies.
科研与生活
科研以外，您最大的爱好是什么？
My greatest hobbies outside of scientific work involve physical activities such as running.
您如何平衡科研工作与生活？
Balancing scientific research and personal life is an ongoing challenge, but I have found the right balance in myself.
您认为作为科研工作者最重要的资质是什么？
The most important qualities for successful researchers are curiosity, persistence, and resilience.
Personally I transformed every obstacle in opportunity, and I wish you to do the same.
