Biography

In October 2022, I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Engineering from Politecnico di Torino, where I subsequently continued my academic training by enrolling in the Master’s programme in Bionanotechnologies, completed in March 2025. My Master’s thesis was conducted within the Horizon Europe project REBORN, through a collaboration between the IRIS group (DISAT, Politecnico di Torino) and the ScriPT group at i3S – Institute for Research and Innovation in Health in Porto (Portugal).
My research activity focused on the in vitro biological characterization of smart nano-carriers for the controlled release of antifibrotic and anti-inflammatory drugs, as well as on the in vivo assessment of the biocompatibility of electrospun cardiac patches for potential myocardial tissue regeneration. This experience allowed me to develop solid laboratory skills in biological analysis and cell culture methodologies.
In April 2025, I joined the IRIS group as a research fellow, subsequently continuing my path as a PhD student in Bioengineering and Medical-Surgical Sciences. My current research focuses on the synthesis, optimization, and characterization of micro- and nanoparticles designed for the release of oxygen and antifibrotic drugs, integrated within biocompatible composite systems for the regeneration of the mucosal and submucosal tissues of the colon-rectum. This work is carried out within the framework of the Horizon Europe project DAEDALUS
