Dr Gianluca Marcelli

Dr Luca Marcelli's main research interest is the mechanics of the red blood cell, for which he has developed a coarse-grained molecular model of the entire cell membrane.
In collaboration with the Institute of Reproduction and Developmental Biology (Imperial College London) Dr Luca undertook also research to understand the regulation of initiation of follicle growth in the mammalian ovary.
More recently, he has worked on medical applications (hardware and software) for rehabilitation (e.g. swallowing disorders, Virtual Reality for wheelchair driving skills training, AI algorithms for image analysis and exoskeleton).
