About Napoleone Ferrara

Napoleone Ferrara

Napoleone Ferrara was involved in the isolation and cloning of VEGF and demonstrated its role in angiogenesis. His work helped lead to the development of bevacizumab, and the clinical development of ranibizumab. Today, his lab investigates non-VEGF-related angiogenesis mechanisms, which may lead to therapies effective in anti-VEGF non-responders.
