My name is Matteo Montesissa, PhD, and I am a Health Researcher at the IRCCS Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli in Bologna, Italy, where I have been working since 2024. I obtained my Bachelor's Degree in Biomedical Engineering from Politecnico di Milano in 2017, followed by a Master's Degree in Biomedical Engineering, specializing in Cell, Tissue and Biotechnology Engineering, in 2020. In 2025, I completed my PhD in Biomedical, Neuromotor and Rehabilitation Sciences at the University of Bologna. My research focuses on the development and characterization of advanced biomaterials for orthopedic applications. In particular, I investigate nanostructured ceramic- and metal-based coatings designed to improve the antibacterial properties and osteointegration of orthopedic implants, contributing to the development of innovative medical devices with enhanced biological performance. Another key area of my research is the chemical characterization of bone and cartilage tissues using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy to better understand tissue composition and quality. I am the author and co-author of several peer-reviewed scientific publications in the fields of biomaterials, orthopedic implant surface engineering, and spectroscopic characterization of musculoskeletal tissues. Through my research, I aim to bridge materials science and biomedical engineering to develop solutions that can improve patient outcomes and support the advancement of orthopedic technologies.
