Paolo Macchi is a Full Professor at the University of Trento, holding roles in the Department of Cellular, Computational and Integrative Biology (CIBIO) and the Centre for Medical Sciences (CISMED). He serves as Director of CIBIO and Rector's delegate for Disability Support, and is a member of the University Council. His expertise spans cell biology, molecular biology, neurobiology, and RNA biology, with a focus on RNA localization, translation regulation, and systems biology approaches. He teaches Biologia generale e molecolare, covering cellular structures, molecular mechanisms, and genomic processes.
Research highlights include studies on RNA-binding proteins (e.g., RALY, HuD) and their roles in neuronal function, as well as interdisciplinary work on bio-hybrid systems (e.g., TiO2 films, memristive devices) interfacing neurons with materials. His work integrates molecular biology, genomics, and engineering to explore neural mechanisms, cancer biology, and developmental processes.
Publications span RNA regulation in telomere dynamics, neuronal excitability, and artificial cell systems. He has developed cell-free systems and functionalized biomaterials for biomedical applications. Collaborative projects include memristive devices for neuromorphic modeling and lipidomics analysis under stress conditions.
