Alice Gualerzi received her Master’s degree in Biology applied to biomedical research in 2009 and her PhD degree in Morphological Sciences in 2013 at the University of Milan, focusing her research on the morphological analysis of skin and oral mucosa after exposure to exogenous stimuli in a 3D culture model. In 2012 she collaborated for six months as Junior Research Specialist with Dr. Chia-Ling Tu the University of California San Francisco and she was later granted with a postdoctoral scholarship funded by Sardegna Ricerche to work at BT (Biomedical Tissues) srl c/o Parco scientifico e tecnologico Polaris (Pula, CA) in the field of cardiovascular tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and nanotoxicity. She joined LABION in 2014 and the main focuses of her research are: i) biophotonic characterization of extracellular vesicles from mesenchymal stem cells to be used as regenerative agents and plasma exosomes as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for regenerative rehabilitation; (ii) Raman spectroscopy for the characterization of cells and tissues  in health, pathology and for nanotoxicology purposes. She is author of several papers published in peer-reviewed scientific journals and of several abstracts for national and international congresses. Since 2022 , she is board member of the Italian Society for Extracellular Vesicles (EVIta – www.evitasociety.org)
