Valentina Cauda is a Full Professor at the Department of Applied Science and Technology (DISAT), Politecnico di Torino; co-founder of the interdepartmental laboratory PolitoBIOMed Lab; and head of the TrojaNanoHorse lab (in brief, TNHLab) located at the DISAT. Thanks to her ERC Starting Grant project (TrojaNanoHorse, GA 678151), started in March 2016, she now leads a multidisciplinary research group of 18 people, including chemists, biologists, physicists, engineers, and nanotechnologists. Her main research topics are theranostic nanomaterials, wet synthesis, the chemical functionalization and physical–chemical characterization of metal oxide nanomaterials covered by a lipidic bilayer from both artificial and natural origins aimed for drug delivery, tumor cell targeting. and bio-imaging. Metal oxide nanomaterials, such as zinc oxide, mesoporous silica, titania, and metal (gold, silver) nanostructures, as well as liposomes and cell-derived extracellular vesicles, are investigated. Valentina Cauda graduated in Chemical Engineering in 2004 at the Politecnico di Torino and then received her PhD in Material Science and Technology in 2008.
