After serving as a medical officer during military service, he began his academic career in 1984 as Researcher in Anatomy and Histology at the University of Rome Tor Vergata.
During the early stages of his career, he conducted research training at leading international institutions including the National Cancer Institute, the National Institutes of Health (Bethesda), the MD Anderson Cancer Center (Houston), and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, supported by fellowships from the International Union Against Cancer and the Arthritis Foundation.
He became Associate Professor of Human Anatomy in 1992 and Full Professor in 2001 at the University of Rome Tor Vergata, where he has carried out teaching and research for several decades.
His teaching includes Human Anatomy courses for Medicine, Dentistry, Biomedical Engineering, and medical specialization programs. His research focuses on the molecular regulation of male germ cell differentiation and spermatogenesis, including meiotic progression, gene expression control, hormonal regulation, and the genetic basis of male infertility.
He has participated in numerous national and international research projects funded by the Italian Ministry of University and Research, the National Research Council of Italy, the World Health Organization, and the European Union.

Prof. Marco Barchi
Associate Professor
Prof. Barchi graduated summa cum laude in Biological Sciences in 1995 from the University of Rome “La Sapienza”. In 2000 after obtaining the PhD in Medical Embryology, he moved to the USA to begin postdoctoral training at Columbia University (Prof Lili Yamasaki) and subsequently at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (Prof. Maria Jasin) in New York.
During his research activity abroad, Prof. Barchi was supported by two fellowships: the The Lalor Foundation and the American Italian Cancer Foundation Fellowships.
In 2005 he returned to Italy granted by the Italian Ministry (MUR) program “Rientro dei Cervelli” (Brain Gain/Rita Levi Montalcini program). In 2006 he became Assistant Professor in Human Anatomy at the University of Rome Tor Vergata, and was upgraded Associate Professorship in 2020.

Prof. Paola Grimaldi
Associate Professor
Prof. Paola Grimaldi is Associate Professor of Human Anatomy at the Department of Biomedicine and Prevention of the University of Rome Tor Vergata, where she is actively engaged in both teaching and research in the biomedical sciences.
She graduated with honors in Biological Sciences from Sapienza University of Rome and obtained her PhD in Morphogenetic and Cytological Sciences. Her academic career was preceded by extensive research training at the Italian National Institute of Health, where she was awarded several competitive fellowships and research contracts, including funding from the National Research Council (CNR) and the Italian Association for Cancer Research (AIRC).
