Vincenzo Guarino
Dr. Vincenzo Guarino, PhD in Materials Science and Biomaterials. is Permanent Research Scientist at the National Research Council of Italy - Institute of Polymers, Composites and Biomaterials, Naples since 2005. His main research interests include biomaterials, scaffold design for tissue engineering and, more recently, the optimization of electrohydrodynamic technologies (i.e, electrospinning, electrospraying, Electro Dynamic Atomization) for the fabrication of micro/nanofibres, particles and capsules in regenerative medicine, drug delivery and cancer therapy. He is involved in national and international projects with research institutes, universities and R&D companies, as scientific responsible and/or supervisor of ESR fellows or PhD students. He gave also invited lectures and chaired scientific sessions at international conferences, workshops and seminars, receiving awards as author/co-author of papers on biomaterials science and technology. He is also member of international scientific committees and editorial boards of international journals. He is author/co-author of several international publications - original papers, chapters in International books, patents and contributions in international/national conferences.
