FRANCO CAVALERI BIO
Franco Cavaleri, B.Sc., Ph.D.c
Franco Cavaleri is a Biomedical Research Scientist focused on the pharmacology and therapeutic potential of natural medicines.
Franco achieved a Bachelor of Science in Human Nutrition from the University of British Columbia while climbing the ladder to international bodybuilding success. He subsequently attended the University of British Columbia’s Faculty of Medicine to doctoral (Ph.D.) candidate status; and performed over the four years with high academic grade point standing completing and passing in high standing as well, the comprehensive exam level.
Franco's research is focused on nutritional biochemistry and nutraceutical pharmacology in the context of the pathology of inflammation and inflammatory disease. His academic performance and discoveries opened the door to an extension of his thesis work from UBC's Faculty of Medicine combined with that in process at his Biologic Pharmamedical Research laboratory to engage in an overseas University program designed to investigate treatment options for a mysterious rise in cancer.
He welcomed and enthusiastically engaged in the international opportunity and transitioned the last leg of the doctoral research to allow him to focus on investigating drug candidates derived from traditional Indian medicines using his experimental design which included the discoveries on his curcuminoid-based thesis research. This strategy opened the door to applying these treatments in a formal academic sprint to the doctoral finish line in an accredited Indian government University where human lives might be positively affected sooner in a drug development process than later. The extended thesis research program was ultimately designed to investigate and find treatment solutions for cancer in hopes that it may lead to treatments for this atypical rise in oral cancer in the community. This also helped incorporate a meaningful humanitarian purpose to the doctoral thesis research.

Education
Franco Cavaleri is a Ph.D. candidate in collaboration with international University academic programs to complete his doctoral initiative with a broad and diverse application of experience in medicine that includes the evolution of natural medicines to current allopathic drug standards. He holds a B.Sc. in Nutritional Science and executed his postgraduation doctoral initiative to Ph.D. Candidate status in the Experimental Medicine Program at UBC’s Faculty of Medicine to subsequently add international collaboration to marry the conventional allopathic medical study acquired over four years at UBC's Faculty of Medicine with proven natural pharmacological programs.
"Immersing natural medicines into current allopathic drug research protocols that mainstream medical practitioners are familiar with will allow us to make groundbreaking discoveries and set new standards for natural medicines that are reliable and irrefutable; that are founded by familiar scientific research protocols. This will require an education and knowledge accrual from both areas of specialisation and a sturdy vision that sets a strategy to effectively marry these two disciplines credibly supported by drug research outcomes."

His research focus includes the pathology of neurodegenerative and inflammatory diseases/syndromes. His research focus is on curcuminoid pharmacology in the context of disease pathology; primarily NFkB modulation and MSK1 (MAPKinase) regulation. His work has resulted in medicinal discovery. He has also proposed a new paradigm for Alzheimer’s disease based on his research findings and how they relate to a proposed influence by heavy metals. These new subcellular events have been shown to be a possible underlying driver for Alzheimer’s pathology and possibly even that of Parkinson’s disease. The Alzheimer’s disease-related proposals have been peer-reviewed and published in Elsevier's Medical Journals.

BSc. from the University of British Columbia
-
Cavaleri graduated in 1991 from the University of British Columbia, where he majored in Human Nutrition. As opposed to continuing to postgraduate studies at the time he took his research and associated business activity off the academic line. His research interests were pursued in a private research setting in a move to maintain commercial control and corporate ownership of pharmacological property. He continues to focus on the latest gene-related and insulin-related nutraceutical research working with humans, canines, and other models (species-specific nutrigenomics).
-
Franco Cavaleri has been a regular lecturer to the pharmacy and other healthcare organizations introducing the pharmacology and drug interactions of some key nutraceuticals and how they too relate to nutrigenomic activity. He regularly lectures to healthcare professionals and layman audiences around the world.
In 2012, Franco Cavaleri returned to UBC’s Faculty of Medicine after selling one of his corporations in an acquisition deal and continued to study his research interests in the context of a Ph.D. Thesis initiative.

Franco’s Personal Philosophy:
To improve upon your own skills, knowledge-base, and character in perpetuity are to hone your God-given gift with which you are expected to contribute to the improvement and advancement of humanity. To persist with discovery within and outside yourself and to apply these findings to serve your community is an obligation we each must take seriously in hopes of making a positive impact on mankind globally. Biologic Pharmamedical is based on and guided by this personal philosophy.
Franco’s Personal story:
Initially driven by a passion to better understand nutraceuticals and nutrition in order to enhance performance during his quest to win the title of several North American bodybuilding competitions, Franco Cavaleri was struck with ulcerative colitis, a serious autoimmune disease. This disease derailed Cavaleri twice with hospitalization and with a prognosis of surgical intervention with prohibitive lifestyle consequences but was also the impetus that changed Cavaleri’s course of research forever. Cavaleri’s research into anti-inflammatory strategies, originally used to support recovery from training, quickly became focused on better understanding the pharmacology of natural medicinal agents to rehabilitate his ulcerative colitis, without surgical intervention. Cavaleri was able to overcome his disease without surgery!
According to Cavaleri, the key was to isolate an extract instrumental in reducing inflammation. Cavaleri achieved efficient separation of the curcuminoids within the curcumin extract and studied the pharmacology of each constituent independently in isolation. He was able to unravel the pharmacology of each constituent at a cellular and subcellular level in multiple cell lines and tissues. In this way, Cavaleri has discovered a way to predict curcumin and curcuminoid activity – the result is the new potential to design curcumin-based therapies with greater precision, with the ability to more selectively target subcellular proteins involved in the development of disease symptoms and pathology and increased efficacy by indication. These discoveries changed everything we knew about curcumin and set a new standard.
