Vito Foderà received his Ph.D. in Physics (2009) from the University of Palermo (Italy), with a project focused on (in)stability and self-assembly mechanisms of peptides and proteins. In 2009 he was appointed as a Research Associate at the Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge (UK). In 2012 Vito was awarded the Marie Curie IEF for Career Development grant that allowed him to join the Dept. of Drug Design and Pharmacology (University of Copenhagen). In 2016 he became tenured Associate Professor of Biophysics at the Department of Pharmacy, University of Copenhagen, where he established his research team and became Professor in 2023. His focus is on protein self-assembled structures, and he aims at translating the fundamental knowledge on these systems into novel high-impact applications in advanced materials for nanomedicine, protein drug formulations and protein-related neurodegenerative diseases. He is recipient of the Villum Young Investigator award (2018) and the Villum Young Investigator Award Plus (2023), with projects focused on the understanding of structural heterogeneity in protein self-assembled systems via advanced microscopy approaches, and X-ray and neutron techniques. Vito´s group works in close connection with both international collaborators in academia, large-scale facilities, and national and international industrial entities. He is author of > 70 manuscripts.
