Biography
Fiorenza Rancan is an Associated Scientist at the Clinical Research Center for Hair and Skin Science at the Charité University of Berlin Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Germany. Her expertise lays in dermal and transdermal drug delivery. She is interested in the interactions between nanocarriers and skin barrier components as well as skin immune cells. Her main research fields are dermatotherapy, transcutaneous vaccination, and chronic wounds with biofilm infections. She investigated several biodegradable particles (e.g. poly-lactic acid and virus-like particles) for transcutaneous vaccine delivery, explored the use of stimuli-responsive nanogels for the treatment of skin inflammatory conditions as well as delivery systems for the treatment of wound infections. She works on ex vivo human skin and skin organ culture to develop models for healthy and inflammatory skin as well as wound infections.
