Prof. Paolo Riccio completed his studies in Chemistry at the University of Bari, Italy, in 1969, and, in 1970, he started his research activity working on mitochondria with Prof. Martin Klingenberg in the Faculty of Medicine, University of Munich, Germany. His most outstanding achievements include the original purification of the ADP/ATP carrier, the first mitochondrial carrier to be isolated, and the chromatographic purification of the mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes. In 1975, Paolo Riccio moved to the Institute of Biological Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Bari, Italy, and, in 1983, started to study the myelin membrane. In 1994, he joined the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Basilicata, Potenza, Italy, and began his studies in the field of Food Sciences. The studies regarded wine and dairy production, fishery, and zymoproteomic analysis of fruit, vegetables, and unifloral honey. He is an ex-Alumnus of EMBL, the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg, where he was a Visiting Professor three times between 1979 and 1983. He has been a member of the Italian Association for Multiple Sclerosis (AISM) and of the Italian Foundation for Multiple Sclerosis (FISM) (1993–2012), as well as an elected member of the National Council of the Italian Association of Neuroimmunology (AINI) (1998–2001). In 1996, he was awarded the Quagliariello Foundation Prize for his scientific activity and moral qualities.
