About me

Marcello Miceli (Italy, born in 1994) is currently a Research Fellow in Southern University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Italian Switzerland (SUPSI). He was a Research Fellow at Univeristy of Mode na (Unimore) and a former PhD student at the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering of Politecnico di Torino under the supervision of Prof. Marco Agostino Deriu within the Mechanistic and Machine Learning-driven Modelling in Bioengineering (M3B) group (https://m3b.it/). Marcello's research is dedicated to the employment of computational methods, including molecular modelling and machine learning methods, to unravel the molecular mechanisms and features at the basis of physiological and pathological phenomena. With his expertise initiated during his PhD, his primary area of specialization involves the molecular characterization of proteins related to neurodegenerative disease. The central goal of his research is the investigation at the base of the onset of protein related neurodegenerative pathologies. In detail, the mechanistic approach employs molecular modelling and dynamics techniques to unveil the structure-to-function relationships of proteins. Marcello has also some experience in wet lab for protein expression and purification.
