Prof. Camussi has been the principal investigator in numerous research projects funded by national and international agencies. He worked on and published work on: clinical and experimental renal pathology including diabetic nephropathy; inflammatory and tumor angiogenesis; identification, purification and functional characterization of adult human liver stem cell-like cells (HLSC); identification, purification and functional characterization of adult human kidney stem/progenitor cells; generation of insulin producing organoids; identification of tumor initiating stem-like cells in renal carcinomas; purification and characterization of stem cell derived exosomes/microvesicles and their mechanism of action and molecular content; potential therapeutic application of stem cell derived extracellular vesicles. Moreover, he studied the physio-pathological role of extracellular vesicles of different cellular origin. He has over 565 publications (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=camussi+g+&sort=date) in PubMed-indexed journals.
