After remaining seven years at Bologna, he returned to Padua to earn his medical doctorate and then to the University of Venice, where he was appointed successor to Sebastian Fuscareni in the chair of philosophy.

His time was divided between his lectures, his private studies, and his practice as a physician.

He gained acclaim for serving the population of the island of Murano, when they were afflicted with an epidemic malady.

In 1551 he was appointed successor to Johannes Baptista Montanus, in the medical professorship at Padua, and exchanged the profits of his practice for a salary of 950 crowns, which the senate afterwards increased to 1600.

[2] His medical writings, most of which had been published separately, were printed together in 2 volumes at Leyden, in 1586 and 1592, and at Venice in 1599.
