Diego Trucco

Bio

I completed my Master's Degree in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Pisa in 2018. Following that, I earned a Ph.D. in Biorobotics with honors at the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna in 2023. Currently, I am working as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Regenerative Technologies Lab (https://www.regenerativelab.it/) under the supervision of Prof. Leonardo Ricotti at The BioRobotics Institute.

Research

My research centers on designing and developing biomaterials for tissue engineering and innovative medical therapies. I am particularly focused on developing both acellular and cell-laden biomaterials using advanced additive manufacturing technologies, with the aim of the substitution and regeneration of musculoskeletal tissues.
