Prof. Federico Mussano is an associate professor at the Department of Surgical Sciences of the University of Turin. He graduated in November 2004 in Dentistry (DDS) from the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery of the University of Turin. He earned a Ph.D. in Physiology of Mastication and Dental Materials in 2009. From February 2008 to December 2009, he was a visiting scientist at the Weintraub Center for Reconstructive Biotechnology (of which he is an alumnus) of the University of California, Los Angeles, and the Repair and Regeneration Lab (REBAR) of the David Geffen School of Medicine of the same university. In 2011, he co-founded a University Spin-off for prototyping and producing ceramic dental implants, serving as CEO (2014-2017). Since 2017, he has been a tutor in the Inter-University Doctorate in Bioengineering and Medical-Surgical Sciences established between the Politecnico and the University of Turin, of which he has been a member of the teaching body since 2019 and vice coordinator (2020-2024). He is PI at the Bone and Dental Bioengineering Laboratory (https://www.dsc.unito.it/do/home.pl/View?doc=ricerca/Bone_and_Dental_Bioengineering_Laboratory.html) at the Dental School of the University of Turin. His interests mainly include 3D printed intraosseous biomaterials, mesenchymal stem cells, dental implants, and periodontal disease. He has acquired special expertise in establishing predictive cellular models for the osseointegration and the fibro-mucosal integration.
