BIOGRAPHY
|
Cristina Boero studied at Politecnico di Torino (Italy), where she got a Bachelor and a Master degree in Biomedical Engineering. She carried out her Master project at EPFL (Switzerland) in the Nanolab with Prof. Ionescu. Then, she joined the group of Prof. De Micheli, where she is currently working under the supervision of Dr. Sandro Carrara.
She has been a Doctoral candidate at Laboratory of Integrated systems at EPFL since January 2009. Her main interest is on electrochemical biosensors for the detection of metabolities in stem cell cultures. For instance, she is focused on the detection of glucose and lactate. She is also interested in the functionalization of electrodes with nanostructures, like carbon nanotubes, and the interaction between proteins and nanostructures.
