Authors

Prof. Losano was born on July the 25th 1934, and he graduated in Medicine and Surgery on November 18th 1959. He started his university career in the early 60ties as “Assistente Volontario alla Cattedra di Fisiologia”. He was several times a Visiting Professor at the A.M. Dogliotti College of Medicine of the University of Liberia in Monrovia (Liberia), where he also served as Dean of the Medicine Faculty. In 1973 he was named full professor and he continued to work at Torino University until 2019 as Professor Emeritus.
