    Lorenza Garau Paganella

    Postdoctoral Scholar, Mechanical Engineering

    BioLorenza was born in Italy in 1997 and is currently a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University with Prof. Chaudhuri, supported by an SNSF fellowship. Her research focuses on engineering biomaterials to investigate cell–extracellular matrix interactions and mechanotransduction in 2D and 3D cell cultures, aiming to advance biomedical understanding of tissue remodeling and disease.

    Lorenza obtained her PhD (2024) in Mechanical and Process Engineering from ETH Zurich, where she developed hydrogel scaffolds and protocols for protein isolation to study cell behavior in engineered microenvironments.

    Before her PhD, Lorenza completed her MSc at ETH Zurich and BSc at University of Trieste in Process Engineering, graduating both cum laude. During this time her focus was on biomaterials for drug delivery which she complemented with an internship in Roche. She has worked in interdisciplinary teams combining engineering and biology and is motivated by research that bridges fundamental science with clinical impact.
