Biography:
Simona Braccini received a Master degree in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology in 2017 at the University of Pisa. After obtaining a two-year research fellowship on “Study of biofunctional characteristics of micro/nanostructured polymeric materials for biomedical applications, by cellular culture use”, she has been attending the PhD course in Chemistry and Materials Sciences since 2019, under the supervision of Professor Chiellini and Dr Puppi.
Her research interests concern the design, fabrication and characterization of hydrogel scaffolds obtained from naturally-derived polymeric materials, for the development of 3D in vitro modeling of tumor tissues. She is co-author of more than ten scientific articles in high impact international journals.
