Biography:
Elisabetta Stretti completed her studies in Biomedical Engineering with a specialization in Biomechanics and Biomaterials at Politecnico di Milano (Milan, Italy), graduating with honors in 2021. She then joined the research group of Prof. Kostopoulos at the Laboratory of Applied Mechanics and Vibrations (Mechanical Engineering & Aeronautics, University of Patras, Greece), where she is currently pursuing her PhD under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie ITN project named DECODE, focused on drug-coated balloon simulations and optimization systems for the improved treatment of peripheral artery disease. Her research focuses on developing computational models in the cardiovascular biomechanics field to optimize therapeutic strategies for enhanced patient care.
Title : Computational modelling for enhanced drug delivery in drug-coated balloon treatment
