Tissue Preservation, Life care and Biobanking (B2B & Networking)

Alessandra Giuliani is Permanent Researcher and Aggregate Professor in Physics Applied to Cultural Heritage, Environment, Biology and Medicine at the Polytechnic University of Marche, Clinical Science Department. Within the Physics Group, she coordinates the research in Physics Applied to Biomaterials, Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine. The purpose of her research is to study, using advanced physical techniques (such as microdiffraction, computed microtomography, holotomography), based on synchrotron radiation, all the structural changes of various biological tissues (mice bone under conditions of micro and macro gravity and / or of transgenic type, dental implants of various origins, tendons treated with collagen membranes, infarcted rat hearts treated with cardiac progenitor cells, mice dystrophic muscle injected with human AC133+ cells). A particular attention is paid to the vascularization issue of the regenerated tissue using an innovative imaging technique - the computed holotomography. She is author of around 54 peer-reviewed journal papers, chapters on 7 books internationally distributed and numerous works and abstracts related to National and International Congress presentations. Her researches in Physics applied to Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine have been the subject of >45 presentations to Congresses and Schools, the most of them as invited speaker.
