DC 13: Adele Mana (PTS)

Adele Mana is a biomedical engineer graduated from Politecnico di Torino, where she completed a Master’s degree focused on Bionanotechnologies. She has background on bionanotechnology, gene delivery, lipidic and polymeric nanoparticle, and she conducted her thesis at IQS University in Barcelona, studying Vexosomes, that are AAVs encapsulated in extracellular vesicles, as a stealth – natural approach to treating Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. She really enjoyed that experience and the work in a biological and chemical laboratory. That’s why she is currently working as a Marie Curie PhD fellow for the SPM4.0 project at PTS (Curapath) in Valencia, Spain, where she synthesizes lipidic and polymeric nanoparticles to be used as test samples for machine learning algorithm, with the goal of building a library that describes nanoparticle structure and activity to their functional biological responses.
