Not exactly similar the top scientists of the EU, Mr Ferrari recently resigned, because he tried to push for a Manhattan Project like scientific project to find cure/vaccine for the virus, whereas EU wanted a bottom up approach of funding specific projects that come up organically..

Anyways Mr.Ferrari is a medical doctor, but it appears he was a Mechanical Engineer. Then at age 43 after his wife died of disease, he went back to university joined medical school and became a respected medical scholar and tried to find treatments for what affected his wife..

And later was selected to be the top EU scientist on the basis of his medical credentials.
