ADAM aims to be a centre
of excellence for research
and industrialization of applications
to medicine and industry.

Adam's board and scientific committee


Alberto Colussi is the Founder and President of ADAM. He is the Chairman Emeritus of AGB Nielsen Media Research, a global Group operating in 35 Countries, providing TAM services (Television Audience Measurement) to Advertisers, Advertising Agencies and Television Stations. In 1964 he founded in Italy LCM, a market research company, lately named AGB, when, focusing exclusively on TAM, the company gradually expanded on international markets.
In 2004 AGB and Nielsen agreed to merge their TAM activities (ex. USA & Canada) and AGB Nielsen Media Research was established. Alberto Colussi was born in Venice in 1938 and graduated in business administration at Cà Foscari University in the same town.

Domenico Campi is the Managing Director of ADAM. He has been CERN staff since 1984 after an industrial experience in Milan and later project manager of challenging and complex realizations. The last one is CMS Experiment at CERN, which gathers together more than 150 people from several world wide laboratories for its construction. In the past he has managed groups and projects related with the technical infrastructure of large particle accelerators. In that context he has made the preliminary design of the CNAO center which at present is being built in Pavia. He has been member of the Senato Accademico of Politecnico of Torino (1994-1997) and member of several technical and accademical commisions. Domenico Campi is born in Genoa in 1956 and there he graduated in Electrical Engineering in 1980. He attended MBA at Bocconi in Milan in 1983. He is member of Italian and Suisse industrialists associations and member of the board of different institutions. He is among the founding partners of ADAM.

Ugo Amaldi is a member of the ADAM Board of Directors. He has been Research Director and himself researcher at Istituto di Sanità (the Italian Health Institute) and, later, at CERN. He has published more than 400 papers about the physics of atoms nuclei and particles, of radiations and their production and detection and to theoretical physics. His most known paper on the unification of the fundamental forces has been quoted 1200 times. From 1980 to 1993 he created and directed the DELPHI collaboration which, formed of about 500 physicists coming from 20 countries, built and operated at the CERN elecronpositron collider LEP, the large detector bearing the same name. Chair professor of Medical physics, he has taught this subject in Florence and Milan University. Founder and President of the TERA Foundation since its creation in 1992, in the last 15 years he has concentrated on developing techniques of cancer therapy which make use of beams of charged hadrons. To date, more than one million italian high school pupils have studied on his physics text books. He is Doctor honoris causa of the University of Helsinki, Lyon, Valencia and Uppsala and is member of the Italian Academy of Sciences.

Between 1963 and 1968 he participated in the CERN experiments BEBC-SPS/North Area and UA2-UA4 as a project coordinator. Industrial Risk Analyst from1983 to 1988, Insurance Agent from 1988 to 1997, he became a member of the Geneva State Council, where he has been in charge of Economics, Employment and External Affairs of the Canton.
