In 2016 I was selected for a double master’s degree program between Politecnico di Milano (POLIMI) and the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). I studied at UIC for 1 year where I extended my knowledge about liver tissue engineering. In 2018 I earned the double master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering at UIC and POLIMI with both theses focused on the development of microfluidic protein patterning technologies to establish functional human liver in vitro models. I am currently a PhD student in Bioengineering at Politecnico di Milano. I work with the MiMic Lab group and my research activity concerns the conception, development and validation of liver on chip and liver-heart on chip microfluidic devices for drug screening and safety.
