Biography

Graduation in 2013 in Pharmacy and Industrial Pharmacy at University of Bologna with a thesis focused on the role of protein potassium channels in glial cells physiology in the brain.
2013 to January 2022 Research fellow at the Institute for the Study of Nanostructured Materials (ISMN) and at the Institute for the Organic Synthesis and Photoreactivity (ISOF) of the CNR Area of Bologna.
2022 ISOF Researcher with strong expertise in Neuroscience and Material Science and in the specific on glial cell physiology (astrocytes), ion channels and functional biophysical properties (mainly electrophysiology).

The professional carrer was suppported by :
- Master in “Biomaterials and Polymers for the Biomedical Application” at the University of Bologna in 2018.
- International Master in ESDP – Online Academy I° Edition by ENRICH in the USA for the “Training in Entrepreneurial Skills Development Program” 2020.
- Ph.D. in “Nanoscience for the Medicine and the Environment” at the University of Bologna 2022.

The main interest of my studiesfocuses on the validation and characterization of nanostructured materials, interfaces and devices to probe glial cells function and dysfunction. My contribution in this field was consolidated by an active participation in several national and international projects ( with V. Benfenati) and several publications.

Besides the principal interest in neuroscience and physiology and pathophysiology of the brain, other topics are:

-Study and Characterization of 3D cell culture models and spheroids.
-Biomaterials, 3D printing and Tests for the animal and human prosthesis and for the surgical guide and applications, by collaborating with a multinational.
