Dott. Luis Galietta graduated in 1985 at the University Federico II, Naples. Then he moved at the Laboratory of Molecular Genetics, Institute Giannina Gaslini, Genova where in 1991 he became Director of the Laboratory of Molecular Genetics, working on the functional and molecular characterization of ionic channels. Dott. Galietta has made important studies in the field of cystic fibrosis by identifying potentiators and correctors (dihydropyridines and aminoarylthiazoles) of CFTR. More recently he has discovered a new family of  calcium dependent chloride transporters (Caputo et al., 2008 Science 322: 590-594) that are promising new tools to improve our understanding of chloride transport physiopathology and for  drug development.
