Biography
Lorenzo Albertazzi obtained a M.Sc. in Chemistry (2007) and a PhD in Biophysics (2011) from Scuola Normale Superiore (Pisa, Italy). He then joined the Eindhoven University of Technology as postdoctoral researcher and VENI fellow. He moved to the Institute of Bioengineering of Catalonia in Barcelona in 2015 to start the Nanoscopy for Nanomedicine group that he currently leads. For most of his career he has been jumping between Chemistry and Biophysics: his group is now trying to combine them to achieve a molecular understanding of synthetic materials in the biological environment using optical microscopy and nanoscopy.
