Short talk description: The seminar will focus on the most important structural and functional aspects of hyaluronic acid. In particular, the functional roles of the biopolymer and its involvement in human pathology including inflammation and tumours will be described. The biotechnological aspects that make this product one of the most widely used polymers in aesthetic and regenerative medicine will also be described. The chemical versatility of polymer will therefore be the starting point for outlining possible new developments of new biotechnological products for the controlled release of drugs and the creation of useful scaffolds for regenerative medicine.
Short cv: Alberto Passi is full professor of biochemistry at the School of Medicine of the University of Insubria, Varese Italy. He serves as Dean of the Medical School and is Director of the Clinical Chemistry Lab of the University Hospital in Varese. His scientific interests have always focused on the biochemistry and biology of the extracellular matrix with particular attention to hyaluronic acid.
