Mr Giuliani is Consultant Specialist Neonatal and Paediatric Surgeon at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in London. He holds an honorary Associate Professorship at the Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health at UCL.
Briefly, he obtained his medical degree at the University of Udine (Italy) in 2000. He completed his specialist training in Paediatric Surgery at the University of Padova (Italy) in 2006. Then he worked for four years, clinically and as a PhD student, at the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and University of Southern California. He completed his PhD in Developmental Medicine and Health Planning Science at the University of Padova (Italy) in 2010.
In 2019, he was awarded of the Clinical Academic Research Partnership (CARP) from the Medical Research Council with the project titled ‘Colour-coded surgery in neuroblastoma: developing a dual PET and Near-Infrared Fluorescent Imaging (NIRF) probe to accurately visualise tumour from diagnosis to resection’.




Mr Giuliani and his team are working to develop image-guided surgery for Neuroblastoma and other paediatric solid tumours. His research vision is to help surgeons to better visualise cancer at the time of the resection. With the aid of fluorescence and photoacoustic imaging his team is developing a novel platform to enhance surgical precision. These techniques will help to reduce damages to normal organs and to obtain a complete removal of the tumour leading to better surgical and oncologic outcomes.
