Francesca Cavalieri is a Future Fellow in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at The University of Melbourne. She has interdisciplinary expertise in synthesis and structure/function characterization of soft biomaterials based on natural and synthetic macromolecules such as proteins, polysaccharides nucleic acids and hydrophilic polymers. Her research focuses on the interaction of biomacromolecules with biological systems as well as synthetic approaches, including ultrasound, to the design of novel biomaterials.
