Curriculum Vitae Pasquale Ferrante
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis,
Human brain tumors
From 2009 I have been acting as expert of the European Medicine Agency,
Sciences Medicine Health. In 2009 he was invited as EMEA delegate to theCommittee for Human
Medicinal Products (CHMP) Scientific Advisory Group (SAG) for CNS, in London. The meeting was
held in order to discuss about the problem of the Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy
development in Tysabri-teatred Multiple Sclerosis patients. This question is still open andI amfocusing
most of my researches on the topic.
The following year,I was called as delegate to the CHMP SAG for CNS meeting in
London, focused on the use of Raptiva in patients affected with Psoriasis.
In addition all my scientific activity is carried out in an international contest, since I have many
collaborations with European and ExtraEu goups working on the same topics. In order to help
spreading the knowledge of the scientific community I belong to ,I was and I am still part of the scientific
committees of many international peer reviewed scientific symposiums. In addition, I was awarded by
the National Institute of Health (NIH) for my research activity from 2003 to 2010.
