Dr. Da Palma did his PhD (2015) at the Universidade Nove de Julho (Sao Paulo, Brazil). After completing her doctoral thesis, she pursued her current research interests in tissue engineering, disease models, and organ repair. Since then, she has focused on using the acellular extracellular matrix to characterize different lung diseases, such as asthma, COPD, and fibrosis, and propose new approaches in vitro. Furthermore, during her last postdoctoral research (2021), where she was awarded a Marie Curie Fellowship at IBEC (Barcelona, Spain), she developed devices that mimic organs such as the heart, lung, and intestine increased her interest in the organ-on-a-chip platform. Renata is a Professor of the Department of Physiotherapy at the University of Vic – Central University of Catalonia (UVic-UCC).
Dr. Da Palma has years of experience in the field of regenerative medicine, biomaterial, cell-biomaterial interactions, organs-on-chip technology, decellularization, and generation of engineering tissues.

G. Mello, Renata Kelly Palma, Iransé Oliveira-Silva, Rodrigo F. Oliveira, Deise A. A. P. Oliveira, Dante B. Santos, Carlos Hassel M. Silva,Orlando A. Guedes, Giuseppe Insalaco Luís V. F. Oliveira. Acces to article: DOI Abstract: Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a Gram-positive bacterium that causes infections ranging from mild superficial cases to more severe, potentially fatal conditions. Many photosensitisers used in photodynamic therapy are more effective against superficial infections due [...]
