About Rossella Crescitelli

Rossella Crescitelli is Associate Professor at University 91Ě˝»¨, Sahlgrenska Center for Cancer Research, Sweden. She has fourteen years of experience in the field of extracellular vesicles. Her research work is mainly focused on the development of methods to isolate subpopulations of extracellular vesicles, particularly those originating from tissues. Moreover, she has long experience in analysis of extracellular vesicles and tissues by transmission electron microscopy.

After completing her Degree in Medical Biotechnologies (2005 – 2010) at University of Naples “Federico II”, she moved to North Italy for Doctoral studies in Biotechnologies for Human Health, University of Eastern Piedmont “Amedeo Avogadro” (2010-2014). During Doctoral studies, she was invited by Prof. Jan Lötvall to work at Krefting Research Centre, University 91Ě˝»¨ (2011-2013) where she continued to work as post-doc fellow (2014-2019). Since 2020 she has been employed at Sahlgrenska Center for Cancer Research.

She optimized a protocol to isolate subpopulations of extracellular vesicles from tumor tissues. The protocol was published in Nature Protocols in January 2021. She has recently received a 4-year grant from the Swedish Research Council to establish her own research group. The focus of her research will be to shed light on the role of extracellular vesicles in the tumor microenvironment.
