Andrea Remuzzi graduated in 1979 in Mechanical Engineering at the Politecnico
of Milano, with an experimental thesis on blood oxygenation in the Biomedical Engineering
Department. He then started a period as research fellow in the Laboratory of Cardiovascular
Pharmacology at the Mario Negri Insitute in Milano until 1982 when he moved to the Laboratory of
Fluid Mechanics, Department of mechanical Engineering, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
in Cambridge (USA). In 1984 he started as a research scientist in the new Laboratories of the Mario
Negri Bergamo and becoame chief of the Biomedial Engineering Unit in 1987. In 1990 he was nominated
chief of the Biomedial Engineering Laboratory and then head of the Biomedial Engineering Department
in the year 2000. Since 1987 he is also contract Professor of Biomedical Engineering at the
Politecnico of Milano were he teaches a course in Biomedical Engineering. The main research topics
at experimental and theoretical level are related to mechanisms of cardiovascular pathophysiology,
mechanisms of renal disease progression and the effect of mechanical stimulation on cell biology.
More recently he was also involved in tissue engineering and pancreatic islets research.
