Elisa Zattarin

Elisa Zattarin is a Postdoc researcher at Linköping University's Department of Physics, Chemistry and Biology (IFM), affiliated with the Laboratory of Molecular Materials and the Forum Scientium Graduate School. Her work focuses on developing advanced biomaterials for biomedical applications through interdisciplinary collaboration between medicine, natural sciences, and engineering.

• Master's Degree: Biomedical Engineering, Polytechnic University of Turin (Italy)
• Thesis Research: Hydrogel development at The Charles Institute of Dermatology, University College Dublin (Ireland)
• Industry Experience: Biotechnology development at Cellink AB (Göteborg, Sweden)

Her research interests center on:

• Antibacterial wound dressings for chronic infections
• Nanocellulose-based biomaterials
• Self-assembly techniques for hybrid nanomaterials
• Biocompatible hydrogels for medical devices
• 3D bioprinting applications in wound healing

The publication trends reveal expertise in:

• Real-time pH monitoring wound dressings
• Antimicrobial peptide delivery systems
• Nanocellulose-gold nanoparticle composites
• Broadband absorbing materials for sensors
• Self-assembled hydrogels mimicking biological structures
• Biomedical applications of molecular materials

She contributes to the HEALiX project and collaborates with teams in Biophysics and Bioengineering (BBIOBIO), advancing novel materials for wound healing through the integration of physics, chemistry, and biomedical engineering principles.
