Micaela Natta holds a Master's degree in medical biotechnologies from the University of Eastern Piedmont, where she focused on developing 3D in vitro models of the synovial joint to investigate autoimmune diseases and support personalised treatment strategies.

She expanded her expertise at the AO Research Institute in Davos, where she contributed to the development of advanced in vitro systems for musculoskeletal regeneration. Her work integrated cutting-edge biofabrication techniques including magnetic and acoustic patterning, contactless cell assembly, and 3D bioprinting to recreate complex tissue microenvironments for translational and clinical research.

Now a PhD candidate at MERLN, Micaela is developing a Fallopian Tube organ-on-chip to study sperm-epithelium interactions. Her research seeks to deepen our understanding of fertilisation and advance the development of next generation assisted reproductive technologies.
