Giulia Maria De Benedictis graduated with honors in Veterinary Medicine at the University of Bologna in 2000 and in 2005 she obtained the title of Doctor of Research in Animal Medicine at the University of Padua dedicating herself to the management of anesthesia and pain in the various animal species. Since 2005 she has been Assistant professor, then since 2018 Associate Professor and since 2021 she is Full Professor at the Department of Animal Medicine, Productions and Health of the University of Padua. In 2007 she won a scholarship funded by the Horse Betting Levey Board and worked for 13 months as senior anaesthesia resident at the Royal Veterinary College of London (UK). She carries out clinical activity at the University Teaching Veterinary Hospital of the University of Padua where he is responsible for the Anesthesia Unit. In 2016 she completed the second level Master Course "Welfare of laboratory animals and animal care" at the University of Milan. Giulia is a scientific member of two ethical committees in which she participates in the protection of the welfare of animals used in scientific research.
Giulia teaches Veterinary Surgery - Veterinary Anaesthesiology since 2005, Farm Animals 2 from 2019 in the master’s degree course in Veterinary Medicine. She is professor of Concepts of general anaesthesiology and Laboratory animals in clinical settings and pain assessment for the bachelor’s degree in Animal Care since 2017.
Since 2005 she has been a member of the Faculty College of the Doctoral School in Veterinary Sciences and since 2021 she is the president of the Degree Course in Veterinary Medicine.
Since 2016 she has been a member and since 2021 vice-president of the Board of Directors of the Centre for the Mechanics of Biological Materials - CMBM, a University Interdepartmental Centre that coordinates research activities in the biomedical and material engineering fields.
The main fields of study and research concern anaesthesia, recognition and management of pain in small and large animals, laboratory animals, zoo animals and wild animals. She collaborates on numerous research projects as the person responsible for anesthesia and for the control of the states of suffering and pain in the animals involved. She is author and co-author of scientific articles at national and international level. It is active in disseminating and promoting the rational use of anesthesia and analgesia in different animal species.
