Andrea Cavalli

Andrea Cavalli is an Adjunct Professor at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), affiliated with both the VPA-AVP-CP CECAM-GE unit and the School of Basic Sciences (SB) within the ISIC department (SB-CECAM). His research focuses on advanced biosensor technologies, implantable medical devices, and personalized medicine applications. He teaches a course on drug discovery, emphasizing computational methods for drug design and pharmacokinetics.

Key research interests include nanotechnology-driven biosensors, biocompatible materials for implantable devices, and multiplexed detection systems for infectious diseases. Cavalli leads projects on in vivo validation of biochips for metabolic monitoring and integrates electrochemical sensors with circuit design for real-time diagnostics. His work spans from fundamental material science to clinical translation, with a focus on HIV/tuberculosis diagnostics and chronic disease management.
