Dr. Manuela Călin studied Physics at the University of Bucharest and graduated with an M.S. in Biophysics in 1996. She then joined the research group of the Institute of Cellular Biology and Pathology “N. Simionescu”, Bucharest where she received her Ph.D. degree in Biological Sciences in 2005 under the supervision of Dr. Maya Simionescu. Then she performed a 3-year post-doc in “Biomaterials: nanocarriers for controlled drug release” at the Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry “Petru Poni”, Iasi, Romania. She received her Habilitation degree in Biology and Biochemistry in 2021. She is currently a scientific researcher grade I, head of the “Medical and Pharmaceutical BioNanoTechnologies” laboratory, and a member of the Scientific Council of the Institute of Cellular Biology and Pathology “N. Simionescu”. Her research interests lie within the field of Nanomedicine and are focused on the development of new and effective targeted drug delivery systems based on nanoparticles for cardiovascular diseases treatment. She received ten national and international prizes, and published 55 papers in ISI journals, cited >1700 times, h-index: 25 (as per Google Scholar).

Assoc. prof. Martin Pisárčik graduated at the Slovak University of Technology, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Bratislava, Slovakia (1987), in the field of solid state physics. He received his PhD from the Slovak University of Technology, Faculty of Chemical Technology (1992) in the field of technology of macromolecular compounds. He obtained his habilitation degree in the same professional field at the Slovak University of Technology, Faculty of Chemical and Food Technology (2009). Currently, he is the head of Department of Chemical Theory of Drugs at the Faculty of Pharmacy of Comenius University in Bratislava. His expert background and scientific interests are focused on novel amphiphilic molecules with distinct biological activity and synthesis and physical investigations of bioactive metal nanoparticles.

Since November 2005, Dr. Giovanni Tosi is researcher in the scientific field of Pharmaceutical Technology at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia (PI at the department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, which belongs to the faculty of Pharmacy). Since 2015, he is associate professor in the same field. He got certificate for Full professor in 2017, and now he is full Professor since 2020.He was born in 1977 (March, 2nd) in Bologna, Italy, and got his degree in Pharmacy in 2002 with 110/110. He got his PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences in 2005 at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Italy. He was Coordinator of “Applied Technology” curricula for the PhD school in Health Products, member of Instruments Commission of Dep.Pharm.Sci., Contact Person ILO of Dep.Pharm.Sci, Research products, Representative of the Dep.Pharm.Sci. in the Central Board of Animal House and Committee for Research of University of Modena and Reggio Emilia. He now director of Hospital Pharmacy Specialization Programme and coordinator of KETs National Center for RNA drugs in Rare Diseases Spoke.
He is scientific delegate for international cooperation and coordinator of UNIMORE Nanomedicine Platform since 2017 and vice-chair of WG Nanotherapeutics in European Technology Platform for Nanomedicine since 2019 and now secretary of ETPN. The research activity is based on the development of lipid and polymeric systems for the delivery and the targeting of drugs to diseased tissues or cells. His works on nanomedicine for drug and gene delivery and targeting were honored with national prices and awards (La Manna Prize for Student Thesis he drived), Jorge Heller Oustanding Paper Award, 2005) and Innovation price (AFI2005, AFI 2006). His work on Nanoparticles for CNS drug delivery has been recently awarded as one of the Hot Topic (150 selected research over 19.000 proposals) at the World Neuroscience Meeting (Society for Neuroscience) in Washington DC, November 2011 and World Neuroscience Meeting (Society for Neuroscience) in New Orleans, November 2012. He is author or co-author of more than 100 publications in international journals and gave over 200 presentations (invited speaker, oral presentations and posters) in international and national congresses. He participated as collaborator or project leader in several Italian and International projects supported by the Italian Research Ministry, IMI project, Euronanomed grant, Ministry of International Cooperation Projects and POR FESR project. He is now collaborating with a broad network of scientists in the field confirmed by the international participation to publications and many national and international industries (Chiesi, Pfizer, Sanofi, Gilead Sciences, Biomarin). He currently acts as referee for the top journals in nanotechnology and nanomedicine such as Journal of Controlled Release, Biomaterial, Nanomedicine and many other journals dealing with Nanotechnology, Drug Delivery and Nanomedicine.He is Member of the Editorial Advisory Board of a number of international journals.
