Dr Niccolò Silvestri completed his PhD in Nanochemistry from the University of Genova in 2019 working in Dr Teresa Pellegrino's group at IIT, with 7+ years of experience in the field of nanotechnology for biomedicine. He is currently managing the technology transfer of the project HyperCube as a Technologist. He also received a Master's degree in Bioengineering, curricula rehabilitation and biomaterials, from the University of Genova and a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering from the same university.
