Dr. Lenti is fully trained as a gastroenterologist and endoscopist, with an extra-training in chromoendoscopy in patients with inflammatory bowel disease and autoimmune gastritis. He has a particular skill for the management of patients suffering from autoimmune atrophic gastritis, inflammatory bowel disease, coeliac disease and other forms of enteropathies, and the management of patients with multimorbidity. Moreover, he has been working as an internal medicine clinician in an internal medicine ward. He provides consultations for patients suffering from autoimmune atrophic gastritis, inflammatory bowel disease and other immune-mediated disorders, as well as for patients suffering from multimorbidity.   Teaching activity   Dr. Lenti is currently teaching gastroenterology and internal medicine in the school of specialisation in Allergology and Clinical Immunology at University of Pavia. He is also teaching to medical students (gastroenterology, internal medicine).    Summary of research activity   Dr. Lenti is working as a Researcher in Internal Medicine at University of Pavia and as a Gastroenterology consultant. He has always been interested in clinical and translational research since he was a medical student. In particular, with the supervision of his mentors he participated to research projects regarding clinical predictors of diseases/response to treatments, and immunological mechanisms of diseases with a translational relevance (autoimmune atrophic gastritis, inflammatory bowel disease [IBD], coeliac disease). He has the role of sub-investigator in many clinical trials regarding new medications for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. He has led and coordinated a multicentre study based in the United Kingdom regarding the outcome and safety of biologics in IBD patients. He is proactively involved in many other projects with his local research group, including mucosal immunology of autoimmune atrophic gastritis, clinical characterization of autoimmune atrophic gastric, IBD and clinical complexity in internal medicine, which are the main topics of his research activity. He is also working on the clinical characterisation of IBD, the definition of “red flags” for IBD, predictors of stricturing disease, management of biological therapies in IBD, small bowel carcinoma in IBD, and many other projects on coeliac disease and other gastrointestinal diseases. He also has a strong interest in internal medicine; in particular, he is currently studying new models of clinical complexity in patients with multimorbidity, being investigator of the study "Development of a mathematical model of clinical complexity and an index for its practical evaluation in longitudinal prospective observational studies". In addition, since 2012 he is a subinvestigator of the Italian Society of Internal Medicine REPOSI group (Project REPOSI for the study of polypathology and / or polytherapy in the elderly patient). He has taken part and led two Choosing Wisely campaigns (internal medicine and IBD).   Publications   As of December 2020, he has published 95 papers in international, peer-reviewed, journals. He has translated gastroenterological chapters of different editions of Harrison’s – Principles of Internal Medicine, Cecil, and Merck Manual.
