Giovanna DELLA PORTA | Curriculum

She is currently Associate Professor at the Department of Medicine, Surgery and Dentistry "Scuola Medica Salernitana" (DIPMED).

She is the Responsable of the Research Team and Laboratory of Translational Medicine and Nanomedicine and carries out research related to the development of micro and nano systems for the controlled delivery of bioactive molecules and for the manufacture of bioactive three-dimensional microenvironments for tissue engineering applications.

Previously, she has worked at the Dip. of Industrial Engineering of the University of Salerno carrying out research in the group of Chemical Plants and Processes for the fabrication of nanocarriers for targeted delivery and/or sustained drug delivery. These products have been manufactured also adopting highly innovative technologies with supercritical fluids and dense gases.

In 2013 and 2012 he was awarded a Fellowship at the Fischell Dept. of Bioenginnering, University of Maryland, (College Park, MD-USA) for a research project entitled: "Effect of bioactivated 3D scaffold and dynamic cultivation on hMSC osteogenic differentiation" under the scientific supervision of prof. John Fisher, Professor of Bioengineering and Editor of the journal Tissue Engineering.

In the 2012 she achieved the National Scientific Qualification as Associate Professor in 03/D2-Pharmaceutical Technology.

From 1999 to 2002 she was Research Fellow at the former Department of Chemical and Food Engineering of the University of Salerno. During this period he carried out research on the micronization of active ingredients and biopolymers to improve the bioavailability of the drug (pulmonary administration of cortiocosteroids and antiasthetic).

In 1998 he received a Fellowship from the Dep. of Chemical Engineering, University of Maine (Bangor MA-USA). Title of the research programme: "VLEs measurement of ternary mixtures of Solvent-Antibiotics-Supercritical fluid" under the scientific supervision of prof. Erdogan Kiran, Gottesman Research Professor of Chemical Engineering and Editor of the Journal of Supercritical.

He holds a Master’s Degree in Industrial Biotechnology and a PhD in Bioengineering at the Department of Electronics, Informatics and Systems at the University of Bologna (Tutor prof. Angelo Cappello).

She is the author of 120 articles published in indexed journals and co-author of 8 patents; at the moment she has an H-Index of 40 (see Scopus).

He is a member of the Publishing Committee of the Journal "Journal of Supercritical Fluid" Eds. Elsevier and of the Publishing Committee of the Journal "Pharmaceutics" Eds. MDPI
