Pietro Galassetti, MD, PhD

Dr. Galassetti is Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Pharmacology at the University of California, Irvine ("UCI"), where he also serves as the Director of the Bionutrition/Metabolism Core at the Institute for Clinical and Translational Science, and as Associate Director of the Pediatric Exercise Research Center.

A number of previously unstudied gases present in human breath at extremely low concentrations correlated with several key metabolic indicators, including plasma glucose, insulin, lipids, ketones and inflammatory markers, promise the near-future evolution of these measurements into clinically applicable devices.
