We are pleased to announce the appointment of Prof. Luca Pani as the new President of ISSNAF, effective July 1, 2026, following the conclusion of Dr. Cinzia Zuffada’s presidential term.
Luca Pani serves as Professor of Clinical Psychiatry and Medical Director of Continuing Education Programs at the University of Miami (USA), and as Full Professor of Clinical Pharmacology at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia (Italy).

We extend our warmest welcome to Prof. Pani and wish him every success in leading ISSNAF forward, further strengthening its mission and expanding its impact. Here's a quote from him:
“It is a privilege to begin this new chapter, and I am keenly conscious of the responsibility that the presidency of ISSNAF carries. I am committed to strengthening the bridge between Italy and North America in research, innovation, and higher education, expanding the Foundation's reach, enhancing its visibility, and ensuring it continues to serve the Italian intellectual diaspora.”
We also extend our sincere gratitude to the outgoing President, Dr. Cinzia Zuffada, for her dedication and leadership throughout her seven years of service. “As the outgoing President, I am truly delighted to see Prof. Luca Pani take the helm of the Foundation. I am confident that, under his guidance, the Foundation will continue to thrive, represent our vibrant community, celebrate its many achievements, and further strengthen the bridges that connect us across the Atlantic.”
