Biography

After my research experience in Italy (University of Udine) and in Saudi Arabia (KAUST), I held a Research Fellowship position at Nanyang Technological University, School of Materials Science and Engineering, in Singapore. Since 2016, I’m Senior Researcher at Newcastle University (UK), member of the Interdisciplinary Computing and Complex BioSystem (ICOS2) and of the Centre for Synthetic Biology and the Bioeconomy (UK). Since 2020, I’m Senior Transitional Fellow in NanoBiotechnology and co-investigator in different projects focused on novel delivery systems of therapeutic mRNA. In a multidisciplinary perspective, I’m deeply interested in exploring DNA/RNA origami nanostructures, circuits and memories tailored to specific in vivo applications.
