Carlo Arnaudi (23 May 1899 – 23 April 1970) was an Italian microbiologist and socialist politician, who served as the first minister for science of Italy.[1][2]
Career
Arnaudi worked as professor of microbiology at the University of Milan.[3] He was the head of Istituto Microbiologia Agraria e Tecnica.[1] In 1940, he launched a scientific journal on microbiology, namely Annali di Microbiologia.[1] He was the major political supporter of the International Laboratory of Genetics and Biophysics (ILGB) that was founded in Naples in 1962.[4]
He also served as senator.[5] He was appointed minister for scientific research to the center-left coalition government led by prime minister Aldo Moro in the late 1963.[6] He proposed that the ministry should be institutionalized in order to make it more effective in coordinating research activities.[7] However, this proposal led to severe criticisms due to power struggle among the ministers.[7] He removed from office in a cabinet reshuffle in 1966.[6]
