Ignazio Marino practised at a period when medicine itself was being rebuilt on new foundations.
The record lists Ignazio Marino as Italian surgeon and politician (1955-).
Ignazio Marino was born at Genoa in 1955. His recorded nationality is Italy. He trained at Catholic University of the Sacred Heart.
Antibiotics, imaging and the randomised trial defined twentieth-century medicine; evidence replaced authority as the standard.
His posts were held at Thomas Jefferson University and University of Pittsburgh.
Clinical knowledge is accumulated slowly and revised often, usually at some cost.
That the work was done from Italy matters: hospitals, training and research funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide which questions can be asked.
Ignazio Marino is still working, and the assessment of the contribution is not yet complete.
