These outstanding biographical circumstances enabled Dr. Santarelli to combine the knowledge of medical science with a deep experience in economic studies, which led him to integrate both disciplines and study biological phenomena such as ageing, by the aid of a new global Method based on biological Economy (importance of biological economy).

Dr. Santarelli is the author of several scientific articles about ageing in specialized medical journals.

Recently, he published an interesting treatise under the title: "Alla conquista del Tempo dopo la conquista dello Spazio" ("Setting out for the Conquest of Time, after the conquest of Space"). This book, which considers also the latest studies on DNA and the "clonation" experiments, offers an original scientific contribution and a stimulus to the continuous development of scientific research activity about ageing, with the concrete outlook of a possible further increase of the duration of life in good health. This has been at all times one of the greatest aims of Humanity.
