Giulio Superti-Furga was a student of Charles Weissmann, the most famous molecular biologist in Switzerland:

Weissmannis is particularly known for the first cloning and expression of interferon and his contributions to the unraveling of the molecular genetics of neurogenerative prion diseases such as scrapie, Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease and “mad cow disease”.

But it is not Giulio Superti-Furga who tested 100 smartwatches on YouTube with the Polar H10, but Rob ter Horst:

And it is not Giulio Superti-Furga’s fault, but Rob ter Horst’s fault not to use also 3 channel ECG devices which are gold standard for HR measurements and tests those on treadmills for runs on up to 15 km/ against smartwatches:
