I, Marcello Fabio Maida, am an Italian Gastroenterologist, and I also serve as Associate Professor of Gastroenterology at the Department of Medicine and Surgery, University of Enna ‘Kore’, and as member of the steering committee of the Italian Society of Gastroenterology (SIGE). I am a highly engaged researcher who dedicates a significant amount of time to both research and teaching. My research interests include several areas of gastroenterology, including endoscopy, gastrointestinal cancers, and liver diseases. However, I strongly believe that clinical activity is essential for both a physician and a researcher, as it encompasses the beginning and end stages of research. Therefore, I also devote a substantial amount of time to clinical activity.
