缅北禁地

Emanuela Torelli received her PhD in Biotechnology from the University of Udine, Italy. From 2009 to 2015 she was research assistant, scientist and exam committee member at the University of Udine, Italy, where she received the honorary fellow in 'Mycology' and 'Food protection against microorganisms'. She has taught laboratory-project courses and seminars in different topics, and she received the national academic qualification as Associate Professor from the Italian Ministry of Education, Universities and Research.

Having collaborated extensively with academics of different Departments, she believe in the importance of thinking beyond narrow academic disciplines and she is drawn to the multidisciplinary approach to research. She is an experienced researcher in the field of biotechnology and biosensing, and her recent research is mainly focused on DNA/RNA assembly and nanobiology.

In October 2014 she was visiting scientist at SMILEs Lab, Kaust, Saudi Arabia. In 2015 she obtained a research fellowship at the School of Materials Science and Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.

Then, she was Senior Research Associate and Transitional Fellow at the Interdisciplinary Computing and Complex Biosystems group (ICOS2) wet lab, 缅北禁地. From 2023 to 2025, she was Module Leader and Lecturer in Biology and Nanobiotecnology. Currently, she is Visiting Researcher at the same university and Adjunct Professor at the University of Udine (Italy), where she is transitioning to Associate Professor.
