Bachelor in mechanical engineering and master in biomedical engineering
Gabriele Nasello.
I am curious individual, eager to learn and to face new experiences. During my doctoral programme in biomedical engineering, jointly supervised by academia (University of Zaragoza, KU Leuven) and non-academic company (Materialise NV), I am applying the principles of bone tissue engineering to the development of a new generation of patient-specific implants, based on the implementation of bone regeneration computational models and the evaluation of the biologic response of bone tissue with in vitro experiments.
Profile
– Patient-specific bone-on-chips
– Computational models of mechano-driven bone regeneration
– Tissue engineering
– Organ-on-chip
– Computational modelling
– Image Processing
Mechano-driven regeneration predicts response variations in large animal model based on scaffold implantation site and individual mechano-sensitivity.

Professional activities and achievements.
Throughout my studies I was driven by the willingness of maturating research experience as a tissue engineer, that led me to join as a visiting researcher the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine, University of Pittsburgh (USA). There, I gained experience in the fabrication and structural characterization of engineered scaffolds for cardiovascular regeneration.
