Simone Luigi Marasso
Simone Luigi Marasso, PhD, CNR-IMEM, Italy. Since 2018, he has been involved in the foundation of the Piemonte Quantum Enabling Technology LAB, in which he is contributing for the cleanroom design and set-up. His expertise in the process implementation, gained in the laboratory research work, will allow to define the design, select the better materials and solutions for the fabrication of the sensors and their integration in the Organ on a Chip biosensing platform.
