Paola Albanese, PhD
Paola received her PhD in Chemical and Molecular Sciences from the University of Bari, Italy, in 2022. Her doctoral research focused on the bottom-up construction of multicompartment synthetic cells designed to convert light energy into chemical energy to power internal metabolic pathways. She then continued her research as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Siena, where she developed stimuli-responsive synthetic cells for drug delivery applications. She recently returned to the University of Bari, where she established her own research group. She is currently leading the HyBRO-CAP research project which focuses on CO2 fixation and energy production in biohybrid synthetic cells.
