Biography

Sveva Bollini graduated in medical biotechnology and got her PhD from the University of Padova in Italy. During her post-doctoral work, she worked on the lineage characterization of reactivated epicardium-derived progenitor cells for cardiac regeneration at UCL—University College London, London, and at the University of Oxford, Oxford, in the UK. In 2014, she was presented with the “Rita Levi Montalcini” Young Investigator Award 2012 from the Italian Ministry of Research and Education (MIUR) to study the paracrine potential of the human amniotic fluid stem cell secretome (i.e., the whole of cell-secreted soluble factors and extracellular vesicles) to enhance cardiac repair. Currently, she is a Group Leader and an Associate Professor in experimental biology in the Department of Experimental Medicine, University of Genova, in Genova, Italy. Her research activity mainly focuses on the functional characterization of human perinatal stem cell secretome, with special attention to extracellular vesicles (EVs) to rejuvenate myocardial repair following ischemic and cardiotoxic injury and to unlock endogenous mechanisms of cardiac regeneration.
