Scientific career
Fields Clinical Pathology

Enzo Emanuele (born June 10, 1977) is an Italian clinical pathologist known for his interdisciplinary research in the field of biological psychology. He has studied the biochemical basis of romantic interpersonal attraction and identified the neurotrophin nerve growth factor (NGF) as a key biochemical mediator of falling in love. [1] The implications of this research have been criticized in the popular press. [2] In 2008, his genetic research, which showed an association between serotonin and dopamine receptor gene polymorphisms and certain love traits, [3] was awarded with the International Zdenek Klein Award for Human Ethology from Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic. [4]

Emanuele is also known for his studies on biomarkers of atherosclerosis. [4] On October 3, 2009, Enzo Emanuele was awarded by the Italian Society for the Study of Atherosclerosis (SISA), Lombardy Section, with the Giovanni Galli Prize for his scientific contributions in the field of cardiovascular biomarkers. [5]

He graduated as MD from the University of Pavia in Pavia, Italy [4] in 2002. [6]

Emanuele is Associate Editor of the journal Atherosclerosis. [4] He is also member of the editorial board of the Journal of Special Education and Rehabilitation. [7]
