Vito Conte

Biography

Vito is a scientist in bioengineering and biophysics. He received his MPhys in Theoretical Physics cum laude from the University of Naples Federico II and his PhD in computational biomechanics from King's College London in 2009 under the supervision of Mark Miodownik. He continued investigating as a postdoctoral researcher in the Miodownik group until 2011 before joining as a postdoctoral researcher the Integrative Cell and Tissue Dynamics Group led by Xavier Trepat at the Institute of Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) in Barcelona until 2015. Vito became a Ramon-y-Cajal fellow and Junior PI at the IBEC in 2016. His investigations aim at understanding the physical mechanisms of development and disease in biological organisms through multidisciplinary approaches combining in vivo, in vitro and in silico techniques.
