A Tribute to Dr. Mauro Ferrari

Dr. Alessandro Grattoni trained in mechanical engineering and obtained a PhD in biomedical engineering at Polytechnic of Turin, Italy, while performing research of nanoscale transport in Dr. Mauro Ferrari’s laboratory at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, Texas. After completing his research training, he established a drug delivery laboratory focused on biomedical microdevices. His research activities are dedicated to the development and clinical translation of implantable nanofluidic platforms for controlled, long-term drug delivery and cell transplantation. His current research investigations include controlled delivery systems for HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP), obesity and metabolic syndrome, and intratumoral cancer immunotherapy. Additionally, his team has created a novel 3D printed encapsulation device, the NICHE, for the transplantation of cells for the treatment of endocrine diseases. Dr. Grattoni established the Center for Space Nanomedicine atHMRI, focused on leveraging microgravity on the International Space Station for the investigation of nanomedicine for applications on-Earth and in Space. Dr. Grattoni’s laboratory has received support from, NIH, CASIS, NASA, DOD, JDRF, Gilead Sciences, Automobili Lamborghini, numerous foundations and the industry.
