Giovanna Mantovani, MD, PhD (she/her/hers)

Full Professor of Endocrinology
University of Milan, Fondazione IRCCS Ca' Granda Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico
Milan, ITALY

Giovanna Mantovani is a Full Professor of Endocrinology at the University of Milan and Head of the Endocrinology Unit at Fondazione IRCCS Ca’ Granda Policlinico in Milan.
She has always been interested in rare endocrine disorders and she is the HCP representative at her Institution for ENDO-ERN and BOND-ERN (European Reference Network on Rare Endocrine and Bone Disorders, respectively).

In the past 20 years, her research has been focusing on 3 main topics: 1) the study of the interplays between the cAMP/PKA cascade and the cytoskeleton in the determination of biological behaviour of endocrine tumors 2) the study of the relationship existing between GNAS-related diseases and the regulation of transcription of the Gs alpha gene in humans, and 3) the clinical and molecular characterization of patients with related rare metabolic disorders, particularly iPPSDs (inactivating PTH/PTHrP signalling disorders). From a translational point of view, the demonstration of G alpha imprinting in the human pituitary has led to the first description of GH deficiency due to GHRH resistance in patients with Pseudohypoparathyroidism and to the subsequent publication of the first series of patients treated with rhGH.
In the past years she has also focused on adults with DSD, particularly XY DSD.
She has published more than 250 papers on international peer-review journals (mean IF: 6.1, H-index: 52 – Scopus).
