Biofabrication Lab #1
Polini Alessandro
Alessandro Polini is a Researcher at the Institute of Nanotechnology CNR-NANOTEC, IT. He has wide experience in the field of biomaterials for tissue engineering, manufacturing and design of Organ-on-a-chip and LoC systems, materials sciences and microfabrication. He has carried out research in these fields both in Italy and abroad (Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and Harvard Medical School in US, Radboud University in the Netherlands), supervising several PhD and Master students. He won numerous national and international awards and honors, founded two start-up companies (SM&T S.r.l. and AI-TWIN S.r.l.) focused on innovative biomaterials and organ-on-chip, respectively, has been involved in numerous EU and national projects. His research has been covered by numerous national and international newspapers, magazines and TV broadcasters.
