Research projects:
2017 – present
High performance active
station for detecting nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in the air.
The proposed technology is based on absorption spectroscopy and represents an
intrinsically absolute measurement methodology suitable for the ppt-ppb range, with high accuracy and stability, without
any zero and sensitivity drift over the time and with lifetime up to 10 Years.
MPM -
Multifunction Planar Massager
2017 – present
Non-invasive mechanical
& thermal body treatment detecting skin status.
The project aims to develop a device equipped with 5 different integrated
technologies for simultaneous and combined application of heterogeneous
treatments in a single applicator that allows real-time skin monitoring (using
electrical bioimpedance), mechanical planar massage
with antiphase oscillating disks, mechanical sound waves massage, skin and
subcutaneous localized heating and stimulation by aspiration of the skin fold
by means of hypo-pressure pulses.
ExoDevice – Automated system for
exosome
2015 – present
Continuous perfusion large
scale exosome cultivation Bio-reactor.
EXODEVICE aims to create a
GMP serum free Bio-Reactor, in the form of a KIT, for a continuous and large
scale stem cell culture in order to obtain exosomes for cellular therapy.
2015 – 2015
The BIOIMP project was launched as an innovative and low-cost device
able to detect and to monitor in real time cell growth. Our device registers continuous
changes in the I mpedance
during the cell culture period.
2014 – 2016
Development of a low cost
innovative device that allows to carry out the separation of blood into its
three main phases: plasma, buffy coat, and erythrocytes. The primary business
purpose of this project is the development of strategies, methods and
applications of technologies useful to the realization of a low-cost device
that allows to reduce overall costs of advanced therapies.
MITRASPRING
2013 – 2013
Development of an
innovative device for remodeling of the mitral valve, for the treatment of
heart failure generated by mitral regurgitation. This device is applied to
micro-invasive percutaneous catheters using that today are used for the
replacement of the mitral valve, or clampatura of the
mitral leaflets.
2013 – 2016
Develop a device
specifically designed for operation in the catheterization room , which allows
a massage cardiopulmonary automated eliminating the masking of X-rays that the
current systems on the market have on the area of intervention . Currently on
the market there are not associated with cardiac resuscitation devices
conceived and designed in such a way to be fully compatible with use in a room
of catheterization . All the systems currently on the market designed for a
cardiac resuscitation through mechanical massage have been developed without
considering the limitations imposed by a use in the catheterization room . The
ability to have a clear image that will never be tarnished by mechanical or
electrical parts that make up the resuscitator will improve response times in
situations where the patient has a serious medical condition and that the
reduction of the time associated with medical care is closely linked to the
increase in life expectancy of the patient.
2012 – 2015
Currently in the extraction
of blood from the umbilical cord clamping proceed through to the end next to
the infant. Following is cut the same to free the baby and the umbilical
disinfection of the area near the clamping . Introduced a disinfected needle
into the blood vessel of the umbilical cord better vascularized (there are 3
umbilical vessels , two arteries and a vein) , we proceed to the extraction of
blood. The extraction is performed by placing the cord in a vertical position
and waiting a few minutes (usually 10 minutes) to allow the outflow of blood to
a sterile bag " TERUMO " . It is important to make use of about 10
minutes of time available between the birth of the infant and the natural
detachment of the placenta from the uterine wall , in fact in this relatively
short period of time the blood in the umbilical still enjoys the blood pressure
of the mother allowing extraction of blood is still have the characteristics of
a pulsating flow . When there is a reduction of the outflow blood type , the
midwife massages the cord to the outside of the vaginal canal trying to recover
an additional amount of blood , this latest manipulation can also be associated
with the change in the blood vessel used . This procedure does not allow to
maximize the collection of blood and is subject to the quality of the
manipulation carried out . The project aims at the realization of a disposable
medical device for the extraction of cord blood in an optimal manner and
standardized.
2011 – 2013
Several laboratories have
shown that mesenchymal stem cells from human adipose tissue could express ex
vivo, in culture conditions, biochemical markers of various cell lineages:
osteogenic, myogenic, endothelial, adipogenic, chondrogenic, and neural epithelium. Various approaches in
vivo have shown the restorative ability of these cells in animal models of bone
damage of vascular and cardiac ischemia or muscle damage. The goal of this
project is to develop an innovative system that separates and concentrates
derived from adult adipose tissue of a patient to inject stem cells to himself
or for storing autologous mesenchymal stem cells. The system will be developed
for use in biomedical laboratories handling human body tissues.
