Ignazio Stanganelli (male), born in 1960, Associate Professor Dermatology Department at University of Parma and Director Skin Cancer Unit IRCCS Istituto Scientifico Romagnolo per la cura e lo studio dei tumori (IRCCS IRST).
Since 1994 the research of Ignazio Stanganelli has focused on new non-invasive technologies in diagnosis of malignant skin tumors, especially in the early diagnosis of melanoma.
In particular, he has followed the various stages of development of epiluminescence microscopy with both the simplified technique (dermoscopy) and digital (digital epiluminescence) specifically devoted to different areas: 1) validation diagnostic criteria 2) in vivo effects of solar radiation on melanocytic nevi 3) quality control on the clinico-pathological correlations (with the WHO Melanoma pathologists panel) 4) development of telematics applications 5) support to implementation of specific diagnostic algorithms for computerized evaluation of nevi and melanomas. (European Project ADAM - cluster EUTISM - M; Information Technology Society, Brussels) 6) integration of confocal laser microscopy (optical virtual biopsy) and 6) Training and e-learning.
He has worked and has in progress specific educational multimedia CD’s (also on the behalf of the WHO melanoma program). These multimedia projects were developed with Oncology Institute of Romagna (Istituto Tumori Romagna), Emilia-Romagna region, ASL Città di Milano, Italian Society for General Medicine (SIMG), Ticinese Dermatologic Association, European Academy of Dermatology (EADV) and American Academy of Dermatology.

Founding member and President of the National Council of Italian Melanoma Intergroup (IMI) and board member of International Dermoscopy Society.
He was invited speaker at national and international conferences, and he is holding several master courses on dermoscopy and confocal laser microscopy diagnosis in skin cancer detection. Since 1992 he published 337 papers, including 126 original articles indexed by Scopus and Web of Science. Metric scientific data: by Google scholar (citations 4058, H index 30, i10 index 59; 2) by Scopus: citations 3174 e h index 27.
