Work with thought leaders and academic experts from Sapienza University of Rome

Dr. Stefano De Angelis is a computer scientist with interest in distributed systems, blockchain, security, and verifiable computing. Currently, he is a visiting researcher at the University of Southampton, working on formal verification methods for smart contracts, and a researcher at the University of Salerno, working on privacy-preserving solutions for blockchain applications. Over his career, Dr. De Angelis worked for NATO HQ as security research scientist and for Algorand, a layer-1 blockchain, as principal scientist and solution architect. He holds a PhD in Computer Science and Cyber Security awarded in 2022 from the University of Southampton, with a thesis about methodologies and benchmarking procedures for assessing blockchain-based systems in realistic adversarial environments, and an MSc in Engineering of Computer Science awarded in 2018 from the University “Sapienza” of Rome. He is the author of several research papers in the field of blockchain and security published in peer-reviewed journals, international conferences and workshops.

Motivated and growth-driven biomedical scientist with over 15 years of experience in the cardiovascular field. Strong background in cell and molecular biology, data analysis, and interpretation. Seeking #newopportunities to deliver value as a Senior Scientist, Associate Principal Scientist, Scientific Liaison, or Scientific Consultant within a company that combines new technologies such as single-cell omics and AI for drug discovery and personalized medicine. <br> Throughout my career, I've used various in vivo and in vitro models to investigate the molecular and cellular mechanisms of fibrosis and inflammation in the heart, and how these mechanisms are affected in mice with different genetic backgrounds. My experience includes project management and mentoring. I completed three projects involving international collaborations, supervised two junior researchers, and taught cellular and molecular techniques to at least six professionals. As one of the launching editors and senior editor at Nature Cardiovascular Research, I oversaw the quality of the content published in the journal and the editorial process. I collaborated with authors, reviewers, and editors to ensure the highest standards of scientific rigor, relevance, and innovation. I also contributed to the journal's vision, strategy, and outreach, promoting the latest advances and discoveries in the cardiovascular and hematology fields. This experience has sharpened my analytical and communication skills and broadened my understanding of the field, covering a wide range of studies, from basic research to clinical, epidemiological, and public health research. My mission is to advance the knowledge and practice of cardiovascular medicine and to bridge the gap between research and clinical applications. Keywords: cardiovascular, #fibrosis, inflammation, cardioimmunology, RNA, single-cell biology, #transcriptomics, imaging, animal models, small animal surgery, and scientific writing.

I am Director of Internal Research at Mirimus Inc, Research Assistant Professor of Cell Biology at SUNY, and Visiting Scholar at NYU Tandon School of Engineering. The major goal of my research team is to develop next generation sensing devices for the detection and monitoring of different human health hazards. Previous research directions include the engineering of tissue grafts and tissue replacement products, the manufacturing and testing of implants and biomaterials, the design and validation of bioreactor systems, organ-on-a-chip, and stem cell-based therapy. During over 15 years of research, I have had the opportunity to teach and mentor numerous undergraduate and graduate students and supervise several PhD and postdoctoral fellows.
