Edoardo Donadoni

Edoardo Donadoni is a Research Fellow at the University of Milano-Bicocca, focusing on advanced nanotechnology applications in biomedicine and materials science. His research emphasizes computational methods to design functionalized nanoparticles for targeted drug delivery and photodynamic cancer therapy.

Education: He holds a Master's (2018–2020) and Bachelor's (2015–2018) in Chemical Sciences and Technologies from the University of Milano-Bicocca, following secondary education at Liceo Scientifico F. Lussana in Bergamo.

Research Interests: Donadoni’s work bridges computational chemistry and nanomedicine, specializing in molecular dynamics simulations to study nanoparticle-cell membrane interactions, ligand-receptor binding mechanisms, and polymer coating effects. He explores applications in stealth nanodiamonds, graphene oxide dots, and folic acid-functionalized systems for tumor targeting.

Publications: His recent work addresses nanoparticle functionalization optimization, drug loading mechanisms, and multi-scale modeling of therapeutic delivery systems. Key themes include improving biocompatibility, enhancing targeting specificity, and elucidating atomic-scale drug release pathways.

Labs/Teams: Affiliated with the NanoQLab (Nano-Quantum Lab) at the University of Milano-Bicocca, focusing on quantum and nanoscale materials for biomedical applications.
