Marianna Vitaloni

I am a passionate Patient Advocate working at Digestive Cancers Europe, where I lead medical and scientific initiatives aimed at improving the lives of cancer patients. With a multidisciplinary background, I bridge the gap between science, policy, and patient needs. I hold a Ph.D. in Genetics and Human Pathology and a degree in Medical and Pharmaceutical Biotechnology. My early work as a biomedical researcher focused on regenerative medicine, stem cells, and innovative therapeutic approaches. Over time, my interest expanded toward public and global health, leading me to pursue further studies in the field and collaborate with international health organizations. In the past six years, I have devoted my efforts to patient-centered work, combining scientific expertise with advocacy to drive meaningful change. I believe in the power of collaboration, shared knowledge, and human connection to inspire progress and bring better health outcomes to people worldwide.

I believe I can serve as a bridge between scientific knowledge and patients, helping them discover improved solutions and strategies for better healthcare.
