Biography

Francesca Stradolini was born in Genova, Italy in 1990. She studied Biomedical Engineering from University of Genova (Italy). She received the B.Sc. votes in October 2012 and the M.Sc.degree cum laude in March 2015. She carried out her Master thesis at EPFL working on the development of an Android interface for the wireless and continuous monitoring of metabolites.
Moreover she got the ISICT certificate in 2012. The Institute of Advanced Studies in Information Technologies and Communication (ISICT) is an institution of excellence that supports the curriculum of the University of Genova in ICT with teachings that are the result of close cooperation between universities, companies and institutions. These courses and seminars are designed to develop skills in two major cultural areas: management and scientific-technological area.
Currently she is Doctoral Assistant in the Integrated System Laboratory (LSI) under the supervision of Sandro Carrara.

Current work

Multiple sensing of human anesthetics is of great important in surgical environment and ICUs. Since age, sex, weight, daily life and habits are determinant parameters for the right dosage of anesthesiologist cocktail a full system that continuously analyzes the concentration of anesthetic drugs in human blood in their physiological range could be a relevant improvement in regulating the sedation. Nowadays the anesthesiology instrumentation does not allow the doctor to truly personalize the dose.

The focus of my research is the development of a non implantable prototype for the monitoring of multiple anesthesiology drugs in human blood with the total realization of the sensing platform, microfluidics system and the software development.
