Biography
Giordano was born in Naples, Italy, on October 11, 1962. He received his medical degree from the
Discoveries
At 26, while a post-doctoral fellow at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York, Giordano made significant contributions to the field of cancer research. His work led to the recognition that an identical protein species occurs in complexes with both a virus and with the cell cycle regulatory kinase cdc2. Later, this protein species was identified as protein cyclin A, a substance that regulates growth in the cell cycle. This work helped set the stage for subsequent discovery in several other laboratories.
Giordano went on to discover Rb2/p130 in the early 1990s while serving as a member of Temple's School of Medicine faculty and as a researcher at the Fels Institute for Cancer Research and Molecular Biology. Since that time, Giordano and SHRO researchers have established links between Rb2/p130 and its expression with the regression of cancer in the lungs, the aggression of cancer in the liver and ovaries, the effectiveness of drug therapies against breast cancer, and as a potential prognosticator of prostate cancer.
Giordano also discovered Cdk9 and Cdk10, genetic substances that must be activatedto guarantee proper progression through the cell cycle. Research has subsequentlyshown that Cdk9 is a multifunctional protein that plays a critical role in cell differentiation, particularly in muscles, HIV transcription, and the inception of tumors. Recent research has focused on the role of Cdk9-55 in helping to regenerate muscle tissue in cases of muscle wasting from disease or aging.
In 2004, Giordano discovered [Novel Structure Proteins (NSPs)] , a new family of structure proteins with a possible role in nuclear dynamics during cell division. One form of the gene, the isoform [NSP5a3a] , is highly expressed in some

Giordano also played a major role in studying the cyclin-dependent-kinase inhibitor p27 which serves as the prognosticator factor in cancer patients.
Giordano's early investigation and findings on the cell cycle has contributed to a new series of drugs currently in clinical trials.
An International Model
In 1993, Giordano founded the Sbarro Institute with a donation from Mario Sbarro of the
