Paolo Dellabona earned a Medical Degree and a Ph.D. in Human Genetics. After postdoctoral research with Roberto Accolla at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research in Lausanne, and with Christophe Benoist and Diane Mathis at the University of Strasbourg, he became a member of the Basel Institute for Immunology. In 1993, he joined the San Raffaele Scientific Institute in Milan, where he co-leads the Experimental Immunology Unit with Giulia Casorati. From 2014 to 2023, he also served as Director of the Division of Immunology, Transplantation, and Infectious Immunity. The Casorati–Dellabona laboratory investigates CD1-restricted T and iNKT cell responses, exploring their role in both physiological and pathological contexts. Their work places particular emphasis on tumor immunosurveillance and the translational potential of these immune responses for therapeutic applications.
