A LOOK AT DONATA'S BACKGROUND

Donata obtained her bachelor's and master's degrees with a specialisation in Industrial Biotechnologies at the Federico II University in Naples, Italy. She did her PhD studies in the same University and obtained her PhD cum laude in 2010. She had the opportunity to work in various countries - Italy, Sweden, Singapore, the UK - before choosing France and research at the SAINBIOSE Laboratory.

DONATA'S MOTIVATION FOR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH

The MonBone project's objective is to create new tools towards functional and effective in vitro models that can integrate and hopefully replace the use of animal models. The sensors developed during the project will bring new knowledge on the secretion of specific selected markers. This will increase our knowledge of the differentiation process of stem cells into bone forming cells. Also, this new technology brings together different partners with the potential of leading towards technological breakthroughs.
