Massimo Zeviani

Massimo Zeviani was a renowned Italian geneticist and researcher known for his work on mitochondrial diseases—disorders caused by problems in the cell's energy-producing structures called mitochondria. His research helped identify genetic mutations that lead to various neurological and muscular conditions. Zeviani's contributions advanced understanding of how these rare diseases develop, paving the way for improved diagnosis and potential treatments. His work has had a significant impact on medical genetics and mitochondrial biology, benefiting patients and guiding ongoing scientific discovery in this complex field.
