Fabrizio Mattei
Dr. Fabrizio Mattei graduated from University “La Sapienza” in Rome and completed his specialization in biotechnologies and oncology at the same university. In 2000, he became a fellow at the Edward Jenner Institute for Vaccine Research in David Tough's laboratory (Newbury, U.K.), where he acquired experience in the field of dendritic cell immunology. He is currently a Researcher, Group Leader and Principal Investigator at the Istituto Superiore di Sanità (Rome, Italy), where he has focused on the molecular interactions between dendritic cells and type I Interferons signalling.
His current research is aimed at understanding the role of Interferons signalling and IL-33 in the interface between tumor and immune system in both mouse and human models. Furthermore, he is also conducting research aimed at investigating on crosstalk between immune system and cancer by Cell-on-Chip devices. In addition, Dr. Mattei is developing a multidisciplinary laboratory network focused at the realization of Organ-On-Chip platforms, useful to mimic and study human diseases and cancer.
