Understanding Diabetes: A Step Towards Better Health Diabetes is a condition that affects millions worldwide, yet awareness and understanding can make a huge difference in managing it effectively. Here's what you should know: Types of Diabetes: Type 1 Diabetes: An autoimmune condition where the body doesn't produce insulin. Typically diagnosed in children and young adults. Type 2 Diabetes: The most common type, often linked to lifestyle factors like diet and exercise, where the body doesn't use insulin effectively. Gestational Diabetes: Occurs during pregnancy and can increase the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes later. Remember, early detection and proper management can help prevent complications and improve quality of life. Together, let’s raise awareness and support those living with diabetes! www.drantoniogiordano.com | www.shro.org Antonio Giordano Giancarlo Arra Temple University Università di Siena Temple University College of Science and Technology #DiabetesAwareness #HealthTips #WellnessJourney #AntonioGiordano #HealthyLifestyle #NutritionTips #FitnessForDiabetes #DiabetesManagement #HealthyLiving #BloodSugarControl #DiabetesPrevention #SHRO #TipsfromSHRO #celltheraphy #Curecancer #stopcancer #cancerprevention

We specialize in research aimed at finding cures for diseases by identifying their underlying molecular mechanisms.
About us
The Sbarro Health Research Organization is a nonprofit charity committed to funding excellence in basic genetic research to cure and diagnose cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and other chronic illnesses and to foster the training of young doctors in a spirit of professionalism and humanism. SHRO researchers have completed research on new technologies designed to diagnose lung, ovarian, endometrial, breast and brain tumors as well as lymphomas. Their work with gene therapy has also led to new strategies to treat tumors of the lung and brain, and has led to over twenty patents. SHRO is dedicated to supporting scientific research aimed at finding cures for cancer, cardiovascular and other diseases by identifying their underlying molecular mechanisms. SHRO includes the Sbarro Institute for Cancer Research and Molecular Medicine located at Temple University in Philadelphia, PA and an SHRO affiliated laboratory located at the University of Siena in Siena, Italy. Over 200 SHRO molecular biologists, geneticists, physicists, and chemists work to develop new methods to understand, diagnose and cure disease. In 1993, Antonio Giordano, M.D., Ph.D., founded the Sbarro Institute with a generous donation from Mario Sbarro, the Founder of the Sbarro restaurant chain, following Dr. Giordano’s discovery of the tumor suppressor gene pRb2. Initially named the Sbarro Institute, the research center was located at Thomas Jefferson University, where Dr. Giordano was a professor. When Dr. Giordano moved to Temple University in 2002, he and twenty fellow scientists forged a new, three-year alliance with Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Under the new arrangement, the original Sbarro Institute was renamed the Sbarro Health Research Organization, Inc. (SHRO), which includes the Sbarro Institute for Cancer Research and Molecular Medicine at Temple and the SHRO-affiliated laboratory at the University of Siena in Siena, Italy.

World AIDS Day SHRO stands united in the global fight against HIV/AIDS. Through cutting-edge research and education, we equip communities with the essential knowledge to prevent, test, and treat HIV. Knowledge = Prevention Practice Safe Sex Get Tested Regularly Access Life-Saving Treatment Key Facts Over 38 million people are living with HIV worldwide. 1.3 million new cases were reported in 2023 (UNAIDS). HIV is both preventable and treatable with early intervention. Let’s come together to eliminate stigma, raise awareness, and create a future where HIV is no longer a threat. www.drantoniogiordano.com | www.shro.org Antonio Giordano Giancarlo Arra Temple University Università di Siena Temple University College of Science and Technology #SHROAgainstHIV #EndHIV #WorldAIDSDay #HIVAwareness #ResearchForHope #PreventionIsKey #ScienceForChange #EndStigma #HIVSupport #FightCancer #CancerPrevention #CellTheraphy #HIVAwareness #WorldAIDSDay #AntonioGiordano

In his latest piece, Antonio Giordano emphasizes how silence and periods of isolation are essential for researchers to achieve deeper focus and process information effectively. The blog explores the critical role of silence and focused attention in achieving effective solutions, particularly for researchers. It highlights how constant interruptions from emails, social media, and meetings disrupt concentration and hinder progress. Antonio Giordano identifies four styles of attention—conscious, strategic, systematic, and focused—and underscores that silence is essential across all of them. Isolation, even for short periods, allows for uninterrupted thought, data processing, and strategic analysis. Ultimately, the blog argues that silence is not an absence but a productive state that fosters clarity, creativity, and meaningful results.

Quale sarà l’agenda sanitaria della prossima amministrazione Trump? Chi è Kennedy Jr., scelto a Capo del Dipartimento della Salute e in attesa della conferma del Senato? E perché la sua nomina è molto discussa? Ne ho parlato venerdì scorso come ospite di Roberta Ammendola, insieme al collega Francesco Semprini, corrispondente da New York de “La Stampa”, e ad Antonio Giordano, direttore Sbarro Health Research Organization Institute per la ricerca sul cancro presso la Temple University di Philadelphia, del programma “Casa Italia”, in onda su Rai Italia, RaiPlay e in terza serata Rai 2. Tanti gli argomenti, dalle bufale sui vaccini e il Covid, all’idea che le sparatorie nelle scuole siano dovute agli antidepressivi, al latte crudo...... Medikea.tv

Why is Cancer Awareness Month Important? Cancer Awareness Month is crucial for both the public and medical research organizations. Here’s why it matters: Educates the Public: Raising awareness about specific cancers helps people understand the causes and risk factors, allowing them to make informed health decisions. It also helps combat misinformation about cancer. Promotes Early Diagnosis: Awareness months encourage regular screenings, increasing the chances of early diagnosis. Catching cancer early means it’s more treatable, with a higher chance of successful outcomes. Supports Cancer Research: These months provide vital opportunities for fundraising to help medical organizations and clinical trials, which are essential for finding new treatments and cures. You can help make a difference today by donating to Gateway for Cancer Research, supporting clinical trials to improve cancer treatments. Together, we can fight back against cancer. www.drantoniogiordano.com | www.shro.org Antonio Giordano Temple University Università di Siena Temple University College of Science and Technology #CancerAwareness #EarlyDetection #SupportCancerResearch #GatewayForCancerResearch #GatewayForCancerResearch #ClinicalTrialsMatter #CancerResearchMatters #CancerSurvivor #StrongerTogether #HopeForACure #CancerAwareness #FightCancer #CancerPrevention #SHRO #antoniogiordano

In this blog Dr Antonio Giordano's groundbreaking work in precision medicine through two key initiatives. The Sports Genomics project uses genetic screening from saliva samples to identify vulnerabilities in athletes, aiming to prevent illnesses and injuries while offering personalized training and nutrition plans. Collaborations with Fiorentina AC, Asti Futsal, and other organizations are expanding the project's reach, particularly among youth athletes. Meanwhile, the Cancer Deflect project focuses on early lung cancer detection by identifying and analyzing cancer stem cells in tumor biopsies, advancing diagnostic and prognostic capabilities. Despite these advancements, Giordano emphasizes that some life events remain unpredictable, underscoring the balance between scientific progress and the unknown.
