Biography
Vittorio Gatti received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering at La Sapienza University of Rome, in 2011 and 2014, respectively, where he carried out research in the field of bone mechanics and functional adaptation. In 2018, he received his Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering at the City College of New York. His doctoral research focused on the mechanism of bone mechanostransduction under condition of skeletal unloading and muscle paralysis. During his doctorate, he also conducted research at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer center, where he conducted research to enhancing drug delivery in bone tumors using non-invasive mechanical loading. He is currently a postdoctoral scientist at the UEIL, where his ongoing research focuses on the biomechanics underlying HMI for cancer detection and treatment, and PWI for the characterization of cardiovascular diseases.
