Biography

Prof. Mauro Comes Franchini is Full Professor of “Material Organic Chemistry”, Department of Industrial Chemistry “Toso Montanari”, University of Bologna, Italy. EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND 1993: Degree in Industrial Chemistry at the University of Bologna. From 1993-1996: Ph.D in Chemical Science in the Department of Organic Chemistry "A. Mangini" of the University of Bologna. ACCADEMIC CARRIER from 1997- CNR fellowship, 1998- Researcher at the Department of Organic Chemistry “A. Mangini”, Faculty of Industrial Chemistry, Bologna. 2014-Associate Professor. Department of industrial chemistry Toso Montanari, University of Bologna. His INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE Part of the degree work (three months) has been performed in the Department of Organic Chemistry of the University of Nijmegen (The Netherlands). During his Ph.D he spent a six months period in the Dyson Perrins Laboratory, of the Oxford University, (United Kingdom). AWARD 2017: Prize to the scientific research in “Organic Chemistry for Nanoscience” by the Società Chimica Italiana. RESEARCH INTERESTS Nanoscience and Nanomedicine Research is in the field of the organic chemistry for nanoscience and nanomedicine. The argument of this research is the functionalization with complex organic molecules of the surface of nanoparticles: in particular magnetic nanoparticles, silver, doped- metal oxides, magnesium and gold nanoparticles (spherical and cylindrical). The entrapment of organic molecules as commercial- or synthetized-drugs (derived from the mentioned 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition) together with the metallic nanostructures of interest into biodegradable polymeric nanoparticles is also a topic of this research. The further bioconjugation of these polymeric nanoparticles with bio-functional molecules (proteins, peptides, monoclonal antibodies and aptamers) gives nanocarriers for biomedical applications against cancer and neurological disorders. Main applications are imaging, drug delivery, phototermal ablation and therefore a Theranostic approach is the main goal. Additive Manufacturing 3D-printing The activity is focused on the optimization of innovative processing techniques with the aim of developing new organic materials for applications in the field of organic electronics, nanomedicine for industrial applications. Processing techniques include: • Additive Manufacturing (3D-Printing) in order to obtain new materials starting from natural pool sources, such as carbohydrates and proteins. The starting biomaterials are synthetically modified before being applied to the manufacturing. Applications are textile and organic electronics • Bio-Ink for biomedical applications via gel-extrusion deposition. Here too, biocompatible materials are investigated: the formulations are thoroughly explored and optimized in order to obtain suitable rheology for building scaffolds eligible for Tissue Engineering.
