Biography:
Roberto Gramignoli working as a Senior Researcher and Group Leader at Karolinska Institutet. He is specialized in Medical Genetics and has a PhD in Molecular and Translational Medicine. During his post-graduate studies at Univ. of Pittsburgh (PA-USA) he identified and proposed new solutions for roadblocks limiting clinical Hepatocyte Transplantation. Due to the paucity of human hepatocytes, he investigated alternative sources, such as iPS and placental stem cells. Working with his Mentor, Dr Strom, they became the first group to get approval for isolation and clinical infusion of human hepatocytes and amnion epithelial stem cells (AEC)
