معرفی
Simone Bersini is an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Biomedical Sciences of the Università della Svizzera italiana (USI) and affiliated with Ente Ospedaliero Cantonale. He holds a PhD in Bioengineering from Politecnico di Milano (2014) and has conducted postdoctoral research at MIT, Harvard-MIT, the National University of Singapore, and the Salk Institute. His work focuses on vascular aging mechanisms in diseases like Alzheimer’s and Hutchinson Gilford Progeria Syndrome, combining bioengineering, molecular biology, and microphysiological systems.
Education:
- Bioengineering, Politecnico di Milano (2010)
- PhD in Bioengineering, Politecnico di Milano (2014)
Research interests include aging-related diseases, cancer metastasis, and vascular biology. He uses biofabrication and omics/machine learning to study blood vessel aging. His ERC Starting Grant (2023) supports this research, complemented by funding from the Novartis Foundation and Swiss National Science Foundation.
Scientific achievements include the ERC Starting Grant and contributions to vascular aging mechanisms. His work bridges engineering and molecular biology, with a focus on clinical translation through microphysiological models.
Advising/grants: No formal advisee list provided, but his lab focuses on interdisciplinary approaches. Grants include ERC, Novartis Foundation, and SNSF funding.
