About

Dr. Diana Pellegrini is a rising leader at the intersection of additive manufacturing and cancer biology, whose work is pioneering the next generation of 3D *in vitro* models. Her research centers on engineering complex, physiologically relevant microenvironments—specifically spheroids and organoids—to better recapitulate the 3D architecture of native tissues. Her most cited work, "3D Printed Solutions for Spheroid Engineering and Cancer Research" (2022, 12 citations), addresses a critical bottleneck in the field: the need for scalable, reproducible platforms that allow cells to organize in three dimensions, which is essential for studying organogenesis, tissue morphogenesis, and tumor progression. By integrating cutting-edge 3D printing techniques with advanced biomaterials, Dr. Pellegrini’s contributions are enabling more accurate drug screening and fundamental insights into how cells evolve within their native spatial context. Her innovative approach is already shaping how researchers design cancer models, bridging the gap between traditional 2D assays and complex *in vivo* systems. As her citation record grows, Dr. Pellegrini is establishing herself as a key figure in the rapidly evolving field of biofabrication for disease modeling.
