Biography

Federico Sinnona received his Master’s degree (2023) in Biomedical Engineering from Politecnico di Torino, where he worked on the development of a 3D in vitro model of the spinal cord. From April to October 2024, he was a research fellow at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology, working on smart substrates for protein biomarker detection. In November 2024, he began his PhD in Bioengineering and Medical-Surgical Sciences at Politecnico di Torino, in a joint agreement with Kansai Medical University. His current research focuses on developing a kidney in vitro model by integrating smart biomaterials and innovative biofabrication techniques.
