Alessia Pancaro

Alessia Pancaro is a Postdoctoral Researcher at Hasselt University, affiliated with the Institute for Materials Research (imo-imomec) and the Nanobiophysics and Soft Matter Interfaces group. She works in collaboration with VITO's Environmental Intelligence Unit, supported by an FWO postdoctoral fellowship.

Her research focuses on developing biomimetic, stimuli-responsive nanocarriers for inhalable drug delivery in lung cancer. Previously, she contributed to the European Marie Curie ITN NanoCarb consortium, working on diagnostic sensing platforms using gold nanorods conjugated with synthetic glycopolymers during her PhD at the Dynamic Bioimaging Lab, Biomedical Research Institute (BIOMED), Hasselt University.

Her work bridges nanotechnology, biomedical engineering, and oncology, emphasizing translational applications in both diagnostics and therapeutics. Though no publications are listed in the source, her research trajectory indicates strong interdisciplinary engagement in advanced drug delivery and nanomaterial design.
