Giada Mainieri obtained her B.Sc. in Biological Sciences in 2020 and her M.Sc. degree in Biology applied to research in biomedicine at the University of Milan in 2022. Then she held the role of Research Assistant at the Translational Research in Gene Therapy Institute in Nantes, in France, to focus on the study of 3D bioengineered skeletal muscles.
Now, she is currently attending a Ph.D. program in Bioengineering at Politecnico di Milano in the Mechanobiology lab led by Prof. Manuela T. Raimondi . Her PhD thesis focuses on the fabrication of 3D polymeric micro-scaffolds to be implanted in avian embryos in vivo to characterize the fibrotic tumor environment and to develop new targeted cancer therapies.
