Erika Maria Tottoli
PostDoc fellow
I earned my Master's Degree in Medical Biotechnologies in 2020 from the University of Pavia. During my Master's program, I developed a novel human ex-vivo skin model to study the early local response of pathological injuries according to the principle of Replacement, Refinement and Reduction. I am enrolled in the PhD program in Bioengineering, Bioinformatics, and Health Technologies at the Laboratory of Pharmaceutical Technology and Law (University of Pavia) under the supervision of Prof. Rossella Dorati. My research focuses on evaluating the effectiveness of advanced electrospun dressings for the prophylactic treatment of hypertrophic scars in complex wounds, through in-vitro and in-vivo biological analysis of scar process molecular mechanisms. Currently, I am conducting my Ph.D. project at Joanneum Research (Graz, Austria) under the supervision of Professor Petra Kotzbeck, working on a porcine experimental model to study the pathophysiology of hypertrophic scarring and inflammation of complex wounds.
