Annalisa Radeghieri

Annalisa Radeghieri is Associate Professor at the Department of Molecular and Translational Medicine at the University of Brescia, where she directs the extracellular vesicle laboratory in collaboration with Paolo Bergese. She has held academic positions at the University of Brescia since 2004, progressing from Post-doc (2004) to Assistant Professor (2005-2022) and currently Associate Professor (2022-present).

Dr. Radeghieri earned her Degree in Industrial Biotechnology from the University of Bologna (1995-2000) followed by a PhD in Applied Biocatalysis and Industrial Microbiology (2000-2004).

Her primary research focuses on extracellular vesicles for diagnostic and therapeutic applications, integrating nanotechnology and biophysics. She has led multiple significant research projects including the UNIBS research unit for the project 'Extracellular vesicles of muscle tissue: new biomarkers for weakness acquired in sepsis-related intensive care' (Ministry of Health, 2023-present) and collaboration on the Horizon 2020-FET project 'Biogenic organotropic wetsuits' (nr 952183). Her work spans cancer therapy, neurodegenerative disorders, and infectious disease mechanisms.

Analysis of her recent publications reveals a strong emphasis on extracellular vesicle characterization, biomolecular corona dynamics, and therapeutic applications. Her work bridges basic science with clinical translation, particularly in cancer therapy, neurodegenerative diseases, and sepsis-related conditions. The research demonstrates increasing sophistication in analytical techniques and growing recognition of the importance of standardization in the field.

• FFABR Grant as PI (2017)
• Vice President of the Italian Society for Extracellular Vesicles (EVita)
• Member of the International Society of Extracellular Vesicles
• Member of the Colloids and Nanosciences Research Center (since 2016)

Dr. Radeghieri has secured multiple significant grants including the Ministry of Health project on muscle tissue extracellular vesicles (2023-2027), the Ehlers-Danlos Society project on hypermobile syndrome (2021-present), and the PRIN project on biotechnological nanoparticle platforms (2019-2023). She teaches courses in Biotechnology, Medical Biotechnology, Biomedical Laboratory Technician, Electronic and Telecommunications Engineering, and the Specialization School of Clinical Pathology and Biochemistry. She serves on the Scientific board of PhD programs at the University of Brescia and is actively involved in professional societies.

She directs the extracellular vesicle laboratory at the University of Brescia in collaboration with Paolo Bergese, focusing on integrating nanotechnology and biophysics for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Her lab has been instrumental in advancing methodologies for extracellular vesicle characterization and application, contributing significantly to the development of standardized approaches in the field.
