Giulia Suarato

Nata a Milano, classe 1985, Giulia Suarato si laurea summa cum laudea in Ingegneria dei Materiali presso il Politecnico di Milano nel 2010. Consegue il dottorato di ricerca in Materials Science and Engineering alla Stony Brook University (State University of New York, New York, USA) nel 2016, studiando nanomicelle multifunzionali per il rilascio controllato di farmaci a sistemi cellulari 2D e 3D. Dal 2016 al 2021 è stata postdoc all’ Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia a Genova, nel gruppo di Smart Materials e nella Translational Pharmacology Facility sviluppando dispositivi biomedicali intelligenti e biodegradabili, prendendo come fonte di ispirazione la Natura ed utilizzando come materie prime biorisorse e scarti naturali, in un’ ottica di una salute più sostenibile. Dal 2021 è ricercatrice presso l’ Istituto di Elettronica, Ingegneria dell’ Informazione e Telecomunicazioni del CNR, per studiare in vitro e in silico nanomateriali per la stimolazione elettro-magnetica di cellule e tessuti.

 

Giulia Suarato was born in Milan, Italy, in 1985. She received her B.S. and M.S. degrees in Materials Science and Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Milan. In 2016 she earned a PhD in Materials Science and Engineering from Stony Brook University (State University of New York, New York, USA), with a thesis on functional nano-constructs for proteins and drugs delivery to various 2D and 3D tissue models. Until the end of 2021 she worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Italian Institute of Technology in Genova, between the Smart Materials Group and the Translational Pharmacology Facility, working on the design of active, naturally-derived scaffolds for wound healing, tissue engineering, and pharmaceutical applications. Since December 2021 she is a researcher at the National Research Council of Italy in the Institute of Electronics, Information Engineering and Telecommunications (CNR-IEIIT), focusing on the study of nanotools for cell and tissue stimulations, in vitro and in silico. Her research interests include the development of functional biomaterials to instruct and dictate cell growth and function, and tissue regeneration.
