University of Texas at Austin, United States
Dr. Lodi completed her Laurea in Chemical Engineering (equivalent of a Master’s degree) in 2001 from the University of Trieste in Trieste, Italy. Early in her career, she demonstrated an interest in the chemical properties of drugs, and her early research provided the groundwork for developing expertise in the use of dynamic simulation for designing and selecting drugs and macromolecular carriers. In 2006, she completed her PhD in Food Science and Nutrition from the Ohio State University, and her dissertation research examined the physical and chemical properties of soy and almond, with four first-author publications resulting from this work. Upon completion of her PhD, Dr. Lodi applied for and was awarded a prestigious Marie Curie Fellowship, which is a highly competitive award given to the “best, most promising individual researchers from anywhere in the world,” at the University of Birmingham in Birmingham, England. Her postdoctoral fellowship introduced her to the field of advanced metabolomics in cancer treatment, under the direction of Dr. Mark Viant. Her current research uses high-throughput screening technologies to identify compounds that could be used in combinatorial cancer therapies.
