Francesco Benedetti (total cites 2759, h-index = 31) authored scientific publications since 1996 on
peer-reviewed international journals. During his career he combined his research activities with
clinical work, mainly in the field of mood disorders, with university teaching appointments, and
with coordination and leadership of research units.
His main research interests are within the field of translational and reverse-translational research
in psychiatry (see list of publications), and include chronobiology and chronotherapeutics of mood
disorders (A), psychiatric genetics and clock genes (B), brain imaging and neural correlates of
psychiatric diseases and therapeutics (C). Other areas of interest (D) include clinical
neuropsychology and animal models of psychiatric diseases.

Staff Psychiatrist at the Mood Disorder Unit, Psychiatric Branch, Istituto Scientifico
Ospedale San Raffaele
Area Coordinator (Scientific research activities) at the Department of Clinical
Neurosciences, Istituto Scientifico Ospedale San Raffaele.
Head – Clinical Research Group Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences – Division of
Neuroscience - Istituto Scientifico Ospedale San Raffaele.
With a matrix structure, this research group includes people and structures affiliated to (1) the
Department of Clinical Neurosciences of the Ospedale San Raffaele, including the units of
psychiatry (7 wards, 120 beds, 2 day-hospital services, two outpatient services), sleep medicine
(10 beds), and clinical psychology; (2) the Chairs of Psychiatry and Clinical Psychology of the
Università Vita-Salute San Raffaele; and (3) the research units of Psychiatry and Clinical
Psychobiology, Sleep Medicine, and Clinical Psychology of the Division of Neuroscience of the San
Raffaele Scientific Institute. Being the Head of the Research Group, F.B. personally directs the unit
of Psychiatry and Clinical Psychobiology, and coordinates the other group leaders’ activities.
Research activities focus at the interface between neuroscience and behavioral disorders, with the
aim of increasing scientific knowledge and developing effective diagnosis and treatment options in
the broad field of Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences. Areas of expertise encompass clinical
psychobiology, in vivo imaging, genetics, pharmacology, neuropsychology, neurophysiology, and
clinical research, to face the questions of modern clinical psychiatry, neurology, and clinical
psychology. Facilities include a in-house psychiatric genetics laboratory (since 1990), access to a
3.0 T MRI scanner in a dedicated research center (C.E.R.M.A.C., 2005), and a molecular biology
laboratory for animal research (2010).
Clinical and research activities began in 1988, and has increased over time. A simple Medline
search (Jan 09) restricted to the previous 10 years allows a rough quantitation of recent scientific
products by giving 226 papers in the field of psychiatry; 106 in the field of sleep medicine; and 25
in the field of clinical psychology. In the field of psychiatry the outstanding achievements have
been matter for independent investigations by lay media in the years 2004 and 2006: the
evaluation of the total Impact Factor ranked the psychiatric branch of the group at the 1st place
among all psychiatric research structures in Italy (our I.F. 225.7 vs 60.1 second place in 2004), and
at the third place in western Europe (2006, I.F. 417.0 in the field of mood disorders).
