Scientific Breakthroughs

We're excited to welcome Franca Scocozza, Biomedical Engineer and Assistant Professor at the University of Pavia, whose research focuses on 3D bioprinting for the development of in vitro models of cardiovascular and tumor pathologies.

✨Scientific Breakthrough is Nucleate Italy's program dedicated to outstanding scientists and emerging innovators shaping the future of biotechnology. Each episode offers young researchers a space to dive into high-impact research and spark cross-disciplinary dialogue.

In this session, Franca will share her scientific journey — from the fundamentals of biomedical engineering to the development of engineered 3D bioprinted models, exploring how these systems can recreate cardiovascular and tumor pathologies and open new frontiers for disease modeling and personalized medicine.
