Giorgia Pastorin

National University of Singapore, Singapore

Giorgia Pastorin received her MSc degree in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology in 2000 and her Ph.D. in Medicinal Chemistry in 2004 from the University of Trieste (Italy). She spent two years of her postDoc at the CNRS in Strasbourg (France), where she specialized in drug delivery.

She joined the National University of Singapore (NUS) in June 2006, as Assistant Professor in the Department of Pharmacy-Faculty of Science. She was promoted to Associate Professor in 2011, Assistant Head in 2014, Deputy Head in 2016, Assistant Dean in 2017 and Full Professor in 2024; she is currently Head of the Department of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences at NUS.

Her research interest is focused on drug delivery, with the purpose of enhancing the pharmacological effects of bioactive agents (such as Pt-based anticancer complexes) while minimizing undesirable side effects. Recently, her BioNanoTechnology (BNT) group developed cell-derived nanovesicles (CDNs) and biohybrids as novel biocompatible Extracellular Vesicle mimetics for targeted drug delivery. Her approach to using unconventional yet efficacious cell-derived nanocarriers has become her signature program, resulting in new invention disclosures, industry engagements and an international BioDrone award in 2021. She is the sole and co-Editor, respectively, of two books related to drug delivery and author in internationally peer-reviewed journals. For the work performed by her BNT group in NUS, she has received both national and international awards and she has been invited to prestigious international conferences as plenary or keynote speaker.
