Postdoctoral Fellow
Georgia Tech
Atlanta, Georgia, United States
Vanessa Dartora is a postdoctoral fellow within the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering and a first-year PPFP Fellow. She completed her B.S. in Pharmaceutical Sciences and further pursued her MS and Ph.D. in Pharmacology at the Institute of Biomedical Sciences, University of Sao Paulo. Her academic focus involved innovating nanostructured and nanoparticulate delivery systems to enhance drug distribution, co-localizing multiple agents in targeted areas such as skin and breast tissues, with potential benefits for breast cancer, skin diseases, and wound healing treatments. Prior to joining Georgia Tech, she conducted postdoctoral research at the Biomedical Engineering Department of the University of California, Davis, as part of the UC Davis Stem Cell and Gene Therapy Training Program. Her research is broadly based on interdisciplinary approaches, including biomaterials, peptide synthesis, cell biology, analytical characterization, and translational medicine. Her current postdoctoral research at Georgia Tech is focused on engineering biomacromolecules to modulate the secretome of Endothelial Progenitor Cells (EPCs) to enhance both angiogenesis and skin regeneration.
