Giovanna Calabrese obtained a PhD in Medical Embryology, Pathology and Experimental Hematology. Currently, she is an Associate Professor in Physiology at the University of Messina, Department of Chemical, Biological, Pharmaceutical and Environmental Sciences. Her main research topic is regenerative medicine and tissue engineering applied to both neural and osteo/chondral regeneration. Specifically, her studies are focused on the molecular and cellular mechanisms behind the repair capacity of the combination between mesenchymal stem cells, 3D biomimetic materials and growth factors, both in vitro and in animal models.
