 "First double degree in Technologies and Sciences for human Healt...:"
Sandra Filiciani was the first PhD graduate in "co-tutela" from the Universidad Abierta Interamericana (Argentina) and the Università degli Studi di Palermo (Italy).
On July 4th, Sandra Filiciani, a physician and plastic surgeon, completed her doctorate and became the first PhD student to receive from the University of Palermo (UNIPA; Italy) and the Universidad Abierta Interamericana (UAI; Argentina) a double doctor degree in "cotutela" in Technology and Sciences of Human Health (cycle XXXVI) and in Medicine, respectively. Her research focused on developing a new mesh for breast reconstruction. She conducted the initial stages of the study, manufacturing, and testing at the D'Amore Lab of the RiMed Foundation located within the University of Palermo. After that, the preclinical application took place in Argentina. She was supervised by an Argentine, Dr. Enrique Pedro Gagliardi, MD, PhD, and an Italian tutor, Professor Fabio Caradonna (UNIPA), and co-tutors, Professor Antonio D’Amore (RiMed Foundation). She also received mentorship from Dr. Laura Modica de Mohac, and all friends and colleagues from D'Amore Lab collaborated at every step. Integrative teamwork was crucial to the learning process and achieving results. The collaboration between the PhD in Technology and Sciences of Human Health (cycle XXXVI) coordinated by Prof. Bruno Pignataro (UNIPA) and the PhD in Medicice directed by Prof. Alicia Mattiazzi (UAI) was stimulating, contributed significantly over two years and opened interesting perspectives for future work.
