Il mio interesse scientifico durante i primi anni si è concentrato sullo studio dei fattori che modulano i processi proliferativi (ormoni, fattori di crescita, immunofilline, sali biliari, proteine modulanti il ciclo cellulare, ecc.) utilizzando vari modelli sperimentali in vivo e in vitro. I risultati conseguiti, lavorando presso l’Università di Pittsburgh come Ricercatore Associato prima, e poi presso l’Università di Bari, hanno consentito la purificazione e la caratterizzazione dell’HSS (Hepatic stimulatory Substance), poi denominata ALR (Augmenter of Liver Regeneration), e la definizione del ruolo dei sali biliari e degli ormoni steroidei sessuali nella modulazione della proliferazione, sia nel fegato che nel colon. Successivamente, ho studiato il ruolo dei sali biliari e degli ormoni steroidei sessuali nel cancro del fegato e del colon. Negli ultimi due decenni sono state condotte diverse linee di ricerca. Numerosi studi sperimentali, coinvolgendo anche topi geneticamente manipolati, sono stati condotti sia nel campo del carcinoma epatocellulare che del cancro del colon-retto. Inoltre, è stato studiato il ruolo degli ormoni steroidei sessuali nello sviluppo di queste malattie neoplastiche. Gli studi sul carcinoma epatocellulare hanno incluso l'applicazione di metodologie sperimentali con implicazioni traslazionali e la valutazione dei fattori di rischio; inoltre, l'attività di ricerca si è concentrata sui benefici e sugli aspetti critici delle terapie mediche e locoregionali per l'epatocarcinoma. Per completare la descrizione dell'attività di ricerca in epatologia, sono stati pubblicati numerosi studi sulle complicanze e sulla terapia correlate al virus dell'epatite C, sulla terapia del virus dell'epatite B e sulle implicazioni cliniche di questa infezione virale in pazienti sottoposti a terapie immunosoppressive. Infine, diverse pubblicazioni hanno considerato diversi aspetti nel contesto del trapianto di fegato, comprese le politiche di allocazione degli organi. Sono stati pubblicati diversi studi sugli aspetti nutrizionali concentrandosi specificamente sulle implicazioni della nutrizione artificiale, aspetti clinici e nutrizionali nel trapianto di fegato, nutrizione e composizione corporea, aspetti nutrizionali nelle malattie neurodegenerative, potenziali applicazioni terapeutiche della modificazione del microbiota intestinale mediante manipolazioni dietetiche, inclusa la celiachia. La ricerca sulla cancerogenesi del colon ha portato allo sviluppo di un brevetto italiano n. BA2008A000008 per conto di LEO ALFREDO e BARONE MICHELE dal titolo "Composizioni comprendenti fitoestrogeni selettivi per il recettore beta degli estrogeni e fibre alimentari".L’attività di ricerca sull’influenza degli ormoni steroidei sessuali sui tumori del colon retto ha portato, nel 2008, allo sviluppo di un brevetto italiano n. BA2008A000008 a nome di DI LEO ALFREDO e BARONE MICHELE dal titolo "Composizioni comprendenti fitoestrogeni selettivi per il recettore estrogenico beta e fibre dietetiche"
