Michela Bellini, PhD student in Life Science at the University of Milan-Bicocca, Italy. She received her bachelor degree in Pharmaceutical Biotechnology in 2008 and her master degree in Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Technology in 2013, at the University of Milan, Italy. From 2013 she works at the NanoBioLab, Department of Biotechnology and Biosciences (University of Milan-Bicocca) and in 2014 she starts her PhD program, carrying out her research activity focused on the development of apoferritin nanoparticles as drug delivery system for cancer therapy, especially breast cancer.

Abstract

The standard clinical approach for cancer chemotherapy is based on the concept of maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of drug for a patient. This strategy, however, presents several disadvantages, including major systemic toxicity... [ view full abstract ]
