Alessandro
Tocchio, MSc is Researcher at Fondazione Filarete.
Alex has been working as a researcher at Fondazione Filarete in
Milan
developing innovative technologies for tissue engineering applications
since 2009.
He also began studying in a Ph.D. program in medical
nanotechnology at
the European School of Molecular Medicine (SEMM) in 2010. He formerly
worked as
an analyst at a private equity firm in Milan.
His educational background includes a Bachelor and Master of Science in
Physics Engineering from the Politecnico of Milan, with a focus on
nanotechnology, completed with his dissertation on magnetic
nanoparticles for hyperthermia cancer treatment.
He graduated Singularity University in 2012.
His papers include
Nanotechnology in Medicine: From Inception to Market
Domination,
Magnetic Poly(glycidyl methacrylate) Particles Prepared in the Presence
of Surface-Modified γ-Fe2O3,
Excimer laser micropatterning of freestanding thermo-responsive hydrogel
layers for cells-on-chip applications,
A new two-beam differential
resonant micro accelerometer,
A Resonant Microaccelerometer With High Sensitivity Operating in an
Oscillating Circuit,
Mechanical and Electronic Amplitude-Limiting Techniques in a MEMS
Resonant Accelerometer,
Enhancing the Linear Range of MEMS Resonators for Sensing
Applications, and
A Versatile Instrument for the Characterization of Capacitive Micro-
and
Nanoelectromechanical Systems.
In 2010 Alex was awarded with a Ph.D. scholarship from SEMM and recently
he was awarded
two prizes at the 2011 StartCup Lombardy contest for the best
entrepreneurial idea in the Milan area and in the Life Sciences
categories.
The entrepreneurial project that originated from this idea, Tensive, is
now
being incubated in the business accelerator of Fondazione Filarete.
