Giordano de Guglielmo, Pharm.D, PhD
Assistant Professor, Psychiatry
University of California San Diego
Dr. Giordano de Guglielmo studied Chemistry and Pharmaceutical technology and obtained the National Pharmacist Qualification (PharmD) from the University of Camerino, (MC) Italy in 2009. He joined the Laboratory of Prof. Gunter Schumann at the King’s College of London in 2008, during the master research thesis project. Dr. de Guglielmo joined the Laboratory of Dr. Roberto Ciccocioppo at the University of Camerino as a graduate student. During this period, he spent one year in the Laboratory of Dr. Friedbert Weiss in the Department of Neuroscience at The Scripps Research Institute (La Jolla, CA), where, in collaboration with the Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma, his contribution was focused on the development of an agonist-like compound of the NOP receptor, and its role on alcohol-abuse related behaviors. Dr. de Guglielmo returned to Italy, where he obtained his PhD in 2013 with a thesis on the role of PPAR gamma receptor in opioid abuse and tolerance. Between 2014 and 2019, Dr. de Guglielmo joined the Laboratory of Dr. Olivier George in the Neuroscience Department at The Scripps Research Institute (La Jolla, CA), where his studies were mainly focused on the identification and characterization of neuronal ensembles responsible of alcohol withdrawal in rats.
Dr. de Guglielmo is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at UCSD. His research program focuses on the neural circuits of addiction, with an emphasis on critical molecular and cellular mechanisms that are responsible for adverse behavioral outcomes that are associated with substance abuse and dependence.
