His academic career also includes an appointment as Visiting Scientist and Expert Consultant at the National Cancer Institute of the National Institutes of Health (NCI, NIH), Bethesda, Maryland, USA (1974–1978), and Visiting Professor and Lecturer of Radiology at the Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, USA (1986–1990).
Dr. Mariani’s interests span virtually all clinical applications of nuclear medicine, including both diagnostic and therapeutic applications, with an emphasis on the development of novel techniques for radionuclide-based diagnosis and therapy of different tumors.
In addition to serving on the editorial board of the most prestigious international journals of nuclear medicine and diagnostic imaging such as the European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, the Journal of Nuclear Medicine, and the American Journal of Roentgenology, he has published over 325 articles in international peer-reviewed journals. Dr. Mariani has edited or co-edited 25 books and authored or co-authored over 110 chapters published in books.
Since 2005, Dr. Mariani has received several appointments as an Expert Consultant at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA, Vienna) to carry out and develop training programs for nuclear medicine throughout the world. These activities have included on-site visits to initiate and implement new nuclear medicine procedures, hosting recipients of IAEA fellowships, lecturing at regional training courses of the IAEA, participating in coordinated research projects, and developing eLearning modules for distance learning initiatives of the IAEA.
