Dr. Corradetti serves as an Assistant Professor in the Center of Precision Environmental Health at Baylor College of Medicine. With a background in stem cell biology and immunomodulation for regenerative medicine, Dr. Corradetti’s research focuses on developing biomimetic, advanced therapies able to support the body’s own potential to heal. The approaches developed at her lab include exosomes and mimetics to reduce the severity of degenerative disorders (including congenital malformations) and RNA-enhanced, immunomodulatory patches for chronic wounds. Dr. Corradetti’s research is supported by philanthropic organizations and federal agencies, both in Europe and USA. For her project on exosomal vaccines to reduce the recurrence of advanced ovarian cancer, Dr. Corradetti in 2022 was selected as one of the 20 Texas-based Innovative Investigators to receive developmental and strategic support from the TMC innovation ACT program, to advance groundbreaking cancer therapies. In 2017, Dr. Corradetti has been recognized among the “100 Italian Excellences”, an initiative that aims to celebrate organizations and individuals from different sectors, whose work and achievements have contributed to national progress and prestige. She was the first woman to take part in the Scientific Board at the European Society for Translational Medicine, a non-profit and neutral global healthcare organization whose principal objective is to enhance world-wide healthcare by facilitating the rapid translation of scientific discoveries into therapeutics. In 2019, received the “Business Professional Women”-CUP leadership award as a Role Model and Leader in the STEM disciplines, for her commitment to inspiring and empowering young generations of women in science. Her vision on the need to support early-career investigators by teaching how to navigate the sometimes-hostile world of science has been featured in the Fortune Italia Magazine.
