3D Printing and Bioprinting: From State-of-the-Art to Emerging Innovations

Davide Moscatelli received his Laurea cum laude in Chemical Engineering at the Politecnico di Milano in 2002, and his PhD in Chemical Engineering in 2006. He is full professor of Applied Physical Chemistry at Politecnico di Milano and he collaborates with ETH Zurich since 2007. His main research interests are in the material synthesis for technological applications, with particular emphasis on polymer materials, nanomaterials and chemical compounds for biomedical and oil&gas applications. The general aim of his research is the development of new approaches to synthesize and functionalize innovative, efficient, and tunable smart materials. Davide Moscatelli is co-author of more than 120 papers on international journals and more than 10 patents. H-index: 26. Davide Moscatelli serves as lecturer of Petroleum Technologies and Refining Processes course at Politecnico di Milano. Davide Moscatelli supervised more than 100 Bachelor thesis students in Chemical Engineering, more than 100 Master thesis students in Chemical Engineering and Material Engineering, and more than 10 PhD theses in Industrial Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. He is ViceDirector of the PhD course of Industrial Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Politecnico di Milano (http://phd.chem.polimi.it/staff/) and, since 2017, he is Member of the Faculty Committee for the strategic plan Polimi2040 at Politecnico di Milano. Davide Moscatelli is a member of the editorial board and advisory panel of several international scientific journals. He is co-founder of Captive Systems srl, a spin-off company of Politecnico di Milano active in use of smart nanomaterials for wastewater treatments. Emanuele Mauri is Assistant Professor in the framework of Applied Physical Chemistry at Department of Chemistry, Materials and Chemical Engineering "G. Natta" at Politecnico di Milano. He received his Master Degree in Chemical Engineering from Politecnico di Milano. In January 2018, he received his Ph.D. in Industrial Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Politecnico di Milano with honors discussing an experimental thesis on the synthesis of polymeric devices for drug and cell delivery in central nervous system. He also spent research period as visiting Ph.D. student at the Department of Neuroscience at University of Cambridge (Pluchino Lab). The main research fields are:• the chemical functionalization of polymers and the study of their physical and chemical properties • the design of three-dimensional smart polymeric systems as highly biocompatible tools for controlled drug and gene delivery, in nanomedicine and tissue engineering. • studies of formulated polymer-based systemsHe received the European Doctorate Award by European Society of Biomaterials (ESB) and the award Trainee Travel Award/Italian Young Scientist by Italian Society for Biomaterial (SIB) at the 10th World Biomaterials Congress in Montréal (Canada). In 2019, he is awarded as NanoInnovation’s Got Talent by Fondazione Bracco at NanoInnovation 2019, in Rome.
