Mauro Ferrari

Mauro Ferrari pioneered multi-stage drug delivery systems that exploit the unique biophysical features of tumor vasculature. His silicon-based nanoconstructs that dock to tumor vasculature and release secondary nanoparticles carrying drugs have achieved exceptional tumor accumulation in preclinical models. His foundational contributions to the field of nanomedicine and biomedical nanotechnology have spanned theoretical and experimental aspects of size-based drug delivery.
