Biography:

Giuseppe Lanza was born in Catania (Italy) in 1982. After a 3-years activity as Senior Academic Researcher, I currently serve as Associate Professor and Dean of Applied Medical Sciences Techniques at the University of Catania. After graduation with honours in Medicine, I trained at the School of Neurology and I got the international PhD at the same University. As visiting Clinical Research Fellow, I further trained at the Department of Neuroscience and at the Clinical Neurophysiology Unit of the Newcastle University, Newcastle-upon-Tyne (UK). In 2013, I was selected for a Scientific Fellowship promoted by the European Federation of Neurological Societies (EFNS). From 2013 to October 2018, I worked as a Consultant Neurologist at the Oasi Research Institute–IRCCS in Troina (Italy), which is a Collaborating Center of the World Health Organization, and where now I currently hold the position of Head of the Clinical Neurophysiology Research Unit. From 2015 to October 2018, I taught Neurology at the University of Enna (Italy), where I have recently come back to continue teaching activities. I have authored more than 200 publications in internationally-indexed peer-reviewed Journals and Conferences or Meetings, and I currently serve as Editor and invited Reviewer of several international Journals. More recently, I have obtained the Master of Science in Clinical Research, the qualification as Full Professor (procedure for the Italian University Professor recruiting, based on rigorous qualification criteria), and an international award for translational research in sleep medicine. To date, the Scopus h-index is 38, along with ~3,000 citations. I would like to become an Editor of this esteemed Journal for a number of reasons. First, given its influential role within the international network related to this topic, the Journal represents an outstanding chance to get connected with other researchers and clinicians from other countries. Second, an Editor is always updated in a wide variety of “hot topics”, including “cutting edge” subjects, emerging field of research, and innovative therapies. Third, this position may provide the opportunity to advance scientific and academic career. Finally, as part of a dynamic international community, an Editor can reach a globally distributed audience to present research and other scientific achievements.
