Emanuela Torelli received the PhD in Biotechnology from the University of Udine, Italy. Her approach to science and technology is multi-disciplinary, collaborative and application-oriented. She is an experienced scientist in the field of biotechnology and Synthetic Biology, and her recent research focuses on DNA/RNA assembly and nanobiology.
Since July 2016 she is a senior research associate at the Interdisciplinary Computing and Complex BioSystems (ICOS2) group, Newcastle University, UK and part of the Portabolomics group focusing on DNA/RNA origami.
From 2016 to 2021, Emanuela was part of the EPSRC Portabolomics Project working on a novel bio-adaptor for cell control and interfacing. In late 2021, she moved to the EnDROIDS project, our recently funded Royal Academy of Engineering ten years long quest to bridge nanotechnology and synthetic biology to achieve sophisticated in vivo information processing. Emanuela is also co-investigator in a UK Innovate Project and in the Destination project (FET-Open, H2020), both focused on the development of novel cargo packaging system for mRNA.
