Matthias graduated with an Honours Bachelor’s in Anatomy and Cell Biology from McGill University (2024) and is currently taking a master’s degree at Atlantic Technological University. During his studies, Matthias has conducted research in both the United States and Canada, focusing on cancer therapeutics whether that be analyzing the effects of pre-clinical drugs or discovering new biomarkers. After graduating, Matthias started a position at Fondazione Ri.MED for the Prof. D’Amore team in the Laboratory of Cardiovascular Tissue Engineering.
His research project aims to conduct an in-depth analysis of fabrication of biomimetic tissue-engineered mitral valves using electrospinning. This analysis includes characterizing the macroscopic and microscopic structure and conducting biaxial tensile tests to match native tissue properties.
