Dr. Pasquale D’Angelo

PhD, Researcher

Pasquale D’Angelo graduated in Physics and got his PhD in Innovative Technologies for Materials, Sensors and Imaging at the University of Naples Federico II. He spent his postdoc fellowship in national (ISMN-CNR) and international (ISIS-Strasbourg, Imperial College London) realities. He moved to the IMEM-CNR institute to serve as research scientist in 2012. From there, his research activity has been focused on the topic Organic Electronics & Bioelectronics and on micro-nano technologies targeted to applications in biomedicine. He is currently focusing his interest on the implementation (design, fabrication and characterization) of different electrical and electrochemical biosensing devices and integrated platforms (such as biosensors for PoC), on the development of drug delivery systems (such as electrically-driven free standing and implantable platforms for local therapy) and neuromorphic devices, with a particular attention onto 3D printed artifacts.

Dr. Simone Luigi Marasso

PhD,  Researcher

His current position is role Researcher at CNR-IMEM and he is responsible for the research activities at the operative unit at the Politecnico di Torino. He received his master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering from Politecnico di Torino in 2005. After obtaining his PhD in Electronic Devices in 2010, he conducted a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship and he worked in Chilab, materials and microsystem laboratory of Politecnico di Torino, Chivasso (TO), Italy. Since 2018, he is involved in the foundation of the Piemonte Quantum Enabling Technology LAB, in which he is contributing for the cleanroom design and set-up. His expertise in the process implementation, gained in the laboratory research work, will allow to define the design, select the better materials and solutions for the fabrication of the sensors and their integration in the Organ on a Chip biosensing platform.

Dr. Roman Sajapin

PhD, Fellow Researcher

Roman Sajapin completed his M.Sc. degree in chemistry at the University of Freiberg, Germany, in 2018 and finished his PhD program in Materials Science and Technology at the University of Parma, Italy, in 2022, during which his research was focused on the development of polyelectrolyte and conductive polymeric materials for the implementation in polyaniline-based organic memristive devices. He is currently a research fellow, focusing his work on fibroin-based drug delivery systems and developing methods to fabricate devices including neuromorphic/memristive systems by additive manufacturing and 3D fabrication.

 

Aris Liboà

PhD candidate 

Aris Liboà, born in Turin, graduated cum laude in food safety and food risk management in University of Modena and Reggio Emilia (UNIMORE) and currently Ph.D. Student in University of Parma (UNIPR), enrolled in the XXXVIII cycle of Ph.D. program in material science and technology. He carries out his study program through a collaboration between CNR–IMEM and Kemin Cavriago s.r.l., thanks to the research line on Organic Electronics & Bioelectronics active in IMEM through which producing electrochemical biosensors for application in biosensing field in presence of complex biological matrixes and then their application on real  productive processes in Kemin industries.
Among his main focuses, drug delivery, sensors printing and functionalization have primary importance for different applications in agrifood and medicine industries. Indeed, these topics have a significant impact for the sustainability on food and feed production and transformation. He is currently involved on the study and production of different coating for improving the shelf life of lipophilic vitamins, nanosponges production and implementation as a drug delivery, biosensors production and functionalization for in-line detection. Other fields of interest mainly regards volatilome analysis and characterization of different biological matrixes, MOX sensors’ design and implementation, sustainability on food production processes.
