Giacomo Cretti was born in 1997. He got his Bachelor’s degree in Materials and Nanotechnology Engineering in 2021 from the Politecnico di Milano. Right after he started the Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering at Politecnico di Milano, where he obtained his Master Degree in 2022 with a thesis in collaboration with Biomimx srl and NMI Natural and Medical Sciences Institute at the University of Tübingen. The aim of the work was to develop an advanced setup with integrated readouts for evaluation of cardiac toxicity in a heart on chip device. He is currently PhD student in Bioengineering at Politecnico di Milano. He works in the Microfluidics and biomimetic Microsystems Laboratory (MiMic Lab) and his research project is aimed at developing multi-organs microfluidic platforms encompassing models of lung and bone marrow among others. These platforms will be applied to disease modelling studies and to the evaluation of systemic drug effects.
