BiographyDegree in Pharmacy and Industrial Pharmacy (2013), Master in Biomaterials and Polymeric Materials for the Biomedical Sector (2018), ENRICH in the USA Academy – I Edition “Training in Entrepreneurial Skills Development Program” (2020), and PhD in Nanoscience for Medicine and the Environment (2022) at the University of Bologna. The main research activity focuses on: 1. Physiology and pathophysiology of glial and neuronal cells of the CNS and PNS, including the study of ion channels and cellular biophysical properties. 2. Characterization of nanostructured biomaterials and devices to investigate in vitro dynamics underlying functional and dysfunctional cellular activities. 3. Study of complex 3D- cellular systems, including 3D-printing technologies. 4. Study of new polymer composites for the development of scaffolds and implantable prostheses in vivo using 3D printing technologies.
