Degree in Pharmaceutical Biotechnology
Mechanisms of progression of acute and chronic experimental renal diseases, and advanced electron microscopy techniques (scanning and transmission) to characterize the ultrastructural lesions associated with kidney diseases and to study the ultrastructure and function of the glomerular filter in physiological or pathological conditions.
Matteo is a doctoral student of the tissue engineering laboratory for regenerative medicine at the Mario Negri Institute for Pharmacological Research, based in Bergamo. He obtained his degree in Pharmaceutical Biotecnology in 2017. He worked for 4 months at the Fine Foods and Pharmaceuticals, in Brembate, before starting the PhD course. Currently he works in the field of vascular accesses with particular attention to the fluid dynamic mechanisms that determine the failure of the arteriovenous fistula.
During the project he will be in charge of collecting the vessels and histological analysis of the samples to evaluate the cellular colonization of the graft, the degradation of the artificial material and the presence of fibrotic tissue, deposition of extracellular matrix and inflammatory cells. He will also analyze the samples by scanning electron microscope to study the coverage of the inner surface by endothelial cells.
