2001 - Present
Associate Professor, Dept. Comparative Biomedicine & Food Science (BCA)
Teaching: Professor of Veterinary Anatomy, Histology and Embryology for the Veterinary and Biotechnology course; Professor of Comparative Anatomy for the Animal Care course.
- Responsible for the Internationalization Strategy of BCA Department.
- Teaching commission of BCA
- EAEVE commission
- International commission of Padua University (delegate of the BCA Director)
- iMOVES coordinator (Summer School)

Research topics:
- Characterization of adult stem cells in veterinary medicine
- Study the effects of cryopreservation on mesenchymal stem cells isolated from adipose tissue of dog and peripheral blood of horse.
- In vivo study on sheep/horse tendon/skin regeneration
- Development of a human biocompatible tendon scaffold re-cellularized with adipose derived stem cells.
- Results obtained during these years allowed to widen, also in the veterinary field, knowledge and potential application of stem cells obtained from peripheral blood or adipose tissue. In particular we have investigated the potential application of stem cells in tendon and skin regeneration both in sheep and horses and in human for full thickness tendon lesions.

-National Coordinator of the PRIN 2017 (started in 2019): BRITEs project.
BRITEs: Byproduct Recycling: Innovative TEchnology from the Sea

-EMA (European Medicines Agency) expert
-ANVUR delegate

- Prof. Patruno has gained the national scientific “abilitation” (ASN) for the sector 07/H1 on the 3-12-2013 and subsequently on the 24-10-2018

- h-index: 26

- Author of more than 150 international publications of which 64 full papers, 9 chapters in books of international interest, 61 international congress (14 times speaker), 38 national congress (9 times speaker); in collaboration with other colleagues, a text book of Embryology.
- National winner as “young researcher” at the 4° National Congress of Veterinary Morphology (2004, University of Torino).
- Supervisor of fellowship projects of many Italian postdocs in foreign institutions;
- Reviewer of projects for national and international agencies (ISF, ALW, Italian MIUR, and The French National Research Agency);
- Reviewer for ARTI, Agenzia Regionale per la Tecnologia e l’Innovazione, Regione Puglia (“FutureInResearch”).
- Reviewer of scientific papers for a number of peer reviewed international journals (Animal Genomics; Cell and Tissue research; The Anatomical Record; Journal of Histochemistry and Cytochemistry; European Journal of Histochemistry; Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology; Genes development and evolution; Histochemistry and Cell Biology; Stem Cells; Tissue Engineering; Equine Veterinary Journal)
- Member associate of the Society for Experimental Biology (UK), Italian Association Veterinary Morphology, Group ABCD-Regulation of Development and the International Veterinary Regenerative Medicine Society (IVRMS).
- The research group led by Prof. Patruno has characterized adult stem cells from blood of the horse and adipose tissue of the dog and showed that cryopreservation does not modify their “stemness” features; recent studies focus on evaluating the regenerative potential of stem cells for the regular dense connective tissue (tendons) and skin, in vitro and in vivo. The same research group furnishes a service for Veterinarians named “Stem Cell Delivery” dedicated to the analysis and cryopreservation of stem cells of several animals.
