Vincenzo Calvanese

Vincenzo Calvanese is an Italian researcher who has made significant contributions to the field of leukemia treatment. After spending a decade in the United States, primarily at UCLA, he decided to return to Europe due to the challenging political climate for scientists during Donald Trump's presidency. In 2024, he opened a new laboratory at the Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute in Barcelona, supported by Spain's Atrae program, which aims to attract top international talent to the country. Calvanese emphasizes the need for a supportive environment for scientific growth, particularly for those facing difficulties in the U.S. academic landscape.
