Simone Vesentini has obtained , cum laude, the PhD degree in Bioengineering in 2004 on the molecular modeling of tendon structural proteins such as collagen and proteoglycans. In 2005 he received the award "Gruppo Nazionale di Bioingegneria, Patron" for the best PhD's thesis in Biomedical Engineering. He worked as research fellow at the Computational Biomechanics Laboratory and he was involved in one STREP European Project for the MD modeling of bioartificial membranes. Since June 2008 he is assistant professor at the Bioengineering Department of the Politecnico di Milano. His research interests include soft tissue modeling and biomolecular modeling, concerning the latter he is working on the structure-function relationship in extracellular matrix molecules in normal and pathological conditions. In this regard he is Principal Investigator I of a project funded by the Politecnico di Milano and concerning material science since March 2012 he is Principal Investigator of a Fondazione Cariplo Project for the synthesis of a new proteoglycan substituent to be used in cartilage tissue engineering . He is author of about 50 scientific publications in the field of nanobiomechanic and molecular modeling, including more than 20 peer reviewed manuscripts on international journals.
