Summary – Biographical sketch

Laura Russo is Assistant Professor at University of Milano-Bicocca, Adjunct Lecturer at
National University of Ireland, Galway and Visiting Researcher at Cùram – NUIG, Ireland.
Her research experience dates to 2010, as PhD student in the BioOrganic research group of
University of Milano-Bicocca, working on a multidisciplinary project exploiting glycoscience in the
field of nano- and bio-materials for tissue engineering. In 2010 Dr. Laura Russo joined the research
group of Prof. Julian R. Jones, at Imperial College of London, as Visiting Researcher, working on
hybrid biomaterials for osteochondral tissue regeneration. From 2013 to 2015 she worked, as Post
Doc Fellow, at University of Milano-Bicocca, where she was unit coordinator of a research project
funded by Cariplo Foundation on smart biomaterials for organoid cell cultures for cardiac tissue
engineering. In October 2016 Dr. Russo awarded a SFI Starting Investigator Research Grant
(SIRG) at Cùram, National University of Ireland - Galway – where she started her research on
Glycofunctionalized hydrogels and biomaterials for tissue engineering applications and cell biology
studies.
In March 2017 she came back at the University of Milano – Bicocca where she got a position of
Ric-a in Organic Chemistry. In September 2017 LR has awarded the prestigious Junior Research
Award for Organic Chemistry in Life Science of the Italian Chemical Society for her scientific
contribute on organic chemistry applied to biomedical and life science field. Today, her research is
focused on new biomaterials for 3D bioprinting of new tissues-mimetics for cell studies and tissue
engineering. She is also involved in a multidisciplinary European Project on regenerative therapy
for Diabetes Type 1 - H2020-iNanoBit (Integration of Nano- and Biotechnology for Beta-cell
and Islet Transplantation).
Laura Russo’s research resulted in 45 publication on peer reviewed journals, 2 patents, and gained
a strong national and international impact in the media, including an interview in the national TV
channel TG1 and Recognition of Irish “Minister of State for Training, Skills and Innovation”, John
Halligan TD - as “next leaders of research in Ireland, shaping the research community both in
Ireland and internationally”.
