Functional state evaluation of peripheral blood monocytes, neutrophils and platelets during extracorporeal circulation for cardiothoracic surgery, and in coronary blood before and after coronary reperfusion for myocardial infarction.

Flow cytometric evaluation of the in vitro immunocompatibility of human innate immune cells and platelets with elastomeric materials with feasible applications in the cardiovascular field and regenerative medicine.

1°) The SMArtool european project: focus on the evaluation of blood monocyte phenotypic aspects and general aspects of inflammation in patients with stable coronary artery disease.

2°) The PREVISION project (from Fondazione Pisa): focus on the flow cytometric quantification of circulating endothelial progenitor cells during skin wound healing in experimental animal models

FACSscan (Becton Dickinson) and FC500 (Beckman Coulter) cytometers

The flow cytometry facility is associated with a laboratory of biomaterials the expertise of which is focused on polyurethane-silicone elastomeric materials for cardiovascular applications and regenerative medicine.
