Rossella Calabrese

With over ten years of experience as a biomedical scientist, I combine my expertise in biomedical engineering, polymer chemistry, and biomaterial science with my proficiency in Italian, Spanish, and English. I am currently working as a freelance scientific translator, where I provide high-quality translations of scientific and technical documents for various clients and projects.

I am passionate about education, science, innovation, and art, and I enjoy learning new things and exploring new fields. I have a PhD in Technology of Biologically Active Substances and a MS in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology. 
My goal is to leverage my knowledge and skills to contribute to the advancement and dissemination of scientific research and discoveries.

Research is focused on stem cell encapsulation in polymeric biomaterials for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications.
Aqueous-based processing and chemical techniques are used to modify natural polymers with small or macromolecular moieties to obtain biomaterials for cell encapsulation with tunable properties.
The stem cell response to biomaterials with different features is studied to understand how the material properties can address to a specific tissue formation.
