Paulo Siani

Dr. Paulo Siani is a Researcher at the University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy, specializing in multi-scale modeling of biomembranes and drug design. His research focuses on coarse-graining modeling, atomistic simulations, and bioinorganic nanosystems for biomedical applications. He holds a PhD in Theoretical and Computational Chemistry from the University of São Paulo, Brazil (2018), and conducted a Visiting PhD at the University of Southern Denmark (2015–2016).

Education:

• PhD in Theoretical and Computational Chemistry, University of São Paulo (2014–2018)
• MSc in Theoretical and Computational Chemistry, University of São Paulo (2012–2014)
• BSc in Chemistry, State University of Maringá, Brazil (2008–2012)

Research Interests: Dr. Siani’s work bridges computational chemistry and nanomedicine, with emphasis on molecular dynamics simulations of lipid systems, nanoparticle-membrane interactions, and functionalized nanodevices for targeted therapies. His ERC-funded project (SMART BIOINORGANIC HYBRIDS FOR NANOMEDICINE) explores novel hybrid systems for photodynamic therapy and drug delivery.

Key Projects:

• ERC Consolidator Grant 2016–2021: Developing bioinorganic hybrids for nanomedicine applications

Labs/Teams: Active member of the NanoQLab at the University of Milano-Bicocca, focusing on computational nanomedicine and multi-scale modeling.
