Anna Lapomarda is a PhD student at the Research Center ‘E. Piaggio’ of University of Pisa. In 2017 she graduated in Biomedical Engineering at University of Pisa. In 2016 she worked on the master thesis at the ‘Biomaterials Science and Technology’ (BST) group of University of Twente (The Netherlands) and at the AO Foundation (Switzerland). She focused on the synthesis of biopolymers and on the biofabrication of biodegradable scaffolds for bone tissue regeneration. She is currently working on developing sensorized four-dimensional (4D) scaffolds by using natural biomaterials in order to mimic physiological processes in vitro.
