Francesca Biondo was born on the 14th of January 1989 in Gallipoli, (LE), Italy. She attended the high school “Liceo Scientifico Quinto Ennio” in Gallipoli, and she graduated with 100/100 in 2008. She received her master degree 99/100 in Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Technology at University of Urbino Carlo Bo in 2016, whit a master thesis in Chemistry. Title of the thesis: “Oxidative Carbonylation reactions promoted by diaryl α–diimines palladium (II) complexes”. She obtained the licence to practice as pharmacist in 2016. In the same year, she started a PhD program in Pharmaceutical Technology at University of Urbino, under the supervision of Prof. Luca Casettari. Her research focuses on the design and development of novel biocompatible nanosystem for drug delivery, and on the synthesis and characterization of new materials for innovative pharmaceutical application. In 2018/2019 she was a visiting PhD student at Leiden Academic Centre for Drug Research (LACDR), Division of BioTherapeutics at Leiden University, The Netherlands, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Wim Jiskoot and Ass. Prof. Jeroen Bussmann. During these nine months she worked on formulation, characterization, biodistribution and Drug Delivery efficiency studies of Sugar Fatty acid ester-based liposomes in Zebrafish embryos. She participated in several educational courses and international conferences and schools. During her PhD program she acquired new skills in the field of innovative drug delivery systems, such as nanoparticles, micelles, liposomes, polymer (Ring opening polymerization (ROP)) and several analytical techniques including NMR spectroscopy, Chromatography techniques, TLC, LC, GC, and HPLC & UPLC/UHPLC instrumentation with a wide variety of detection capture (UV, DAD, RI, MS, ELSD), Liposome formulation techniques, Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Analytical quality control (CAPA, GAMP,GMP, GCP). After that, she worked as post-doctoral researcher at University of Salento.
