Aldo Mileo is a biologist and researcher in the field of cellular and molecular biology. He earned a Ph.D. in Biology in 2025 at the University of Naples Federico II, where his research focused on the effects of chemicals known as “endocrine disruptors” on the male reproductive system, with particular emphasis on human prostate cells. Part of his doctoral project was carried out at the Centre Méditerranéen de Médecine Moléculaire (C3M) at the Université Côte d’Azur in Nice, France.
He was a research fellow at the University of Molise and taught cytology and histology at the University of Naples Federico II, while also contributing to teaching activities at the University of Naples Parthenope.
His scientific work focuses primarily on studying the toxicological effects of endocrine disruptors—including bisphenol A, dibutyl phthalate, nonylphenol, and polychlorinated biphenyls—on the tissues and cells of the reproductive system. Using cellular and molecular biology approaches, his studies aim to elucidate the mechanisms by which environmental pollutants disrupt hormonal signaling, influence spermatogenesis and steroidogenesis, and modulate cellular processes such as migration and proliferation in prostate and gonadal cells.
Furthermore, he participated in nationally funded research projects, including the PRIN 2022 and PRIN PNRR 2022 programs titled “Advanced Metamaterials from PHYsics and BIomechanics of Axolotls (AMPHYBIA)” and “Innovative mathematical modelling for cell mechanics: global approach from micro-scale models to experimental validation integrated by reinforcement learning”, contributing to the development of interdisciplinary studies that integrate cell biology, biomechanics, and mathematical modeling for the analysis of cellular processes and the interactions between the environment and health. His research contributes to a broader line of study aimed at understanding the role of environmental pollutants as endocrine disruptors and their potential implications for wildlife fertility and human reproductive health.
