Medical Biotechnology Area

The Medical Biotechnology research area comprises two groups involved in the research on the development and use of advanced technologies: patients derived tissue 3D model, microfluidics, nanofabrication, additive manufacturing, 3D bioprinting, development of biosensor platforms, optimization of microscopy techniques for biomedical applications.
Although the search fields are different, the common characteristics are shared and the translational nature of technological approaches aims to offer innovative solutions to other IRP research areas to enable therapeutic advances in pediatric oncological diseases.
The staff involved are part of different departments of the University of Padua (Industrial Engineering, Physics and Astronomy and Surgery, Oncology and Gastroenterology) as well as personnel paid on IRP grants, whose technical application experience is based on a real translation of the approaches in clinical practice.
