Giovanna Rizzo

Laurea cum laude in Ingegneria Elettronica, indirizzo Bioingegneria, presso Politecnico di Milano (1985). Dal 1988 al 2001 Ricercatore presso Istituto Scientifico Ospedale San Raffaele di Milano; dal 2001 Primo Ricercatore presso CNR. I suoi interessi di ricerca riguardano lo sviluppo di metodi di analisi di segnali e immagini biomedici, principalmente in campo oncologico e neurologico. E' autore e coautore di oltre 100 articoli su riviste internazionali peer-reviewed (h-index=30). E' coinvolta attivamente in progetti di ricerca internazionali e nazionali riguardanti l'elaborazione di immagini, la fisiologia dell'esercizio e le tecnologie ICT per l'assistenza ai soggetti fragili.

L'attività di ricerca si focalizza sull'elaborazione di immagini mediche (PET, CT,MRI) con particolare attenzione a metodiche di MRI non solo di tipo morfologico, ma anche funzionale, di diffusione, di perfusione e di flusso, con applicazioni in ambito neurologico , muscolare e vascolare . Lo sviluppo metodologico comprende inoltre le tecniche di registrazione delle immagini, applicate in ambito radioterapico con imaging integrato CT/PET per ottimizzazione del piano di trattamento e imaging MRI o CT per valutazione effetti collaterali su organi a rischio ; tale linea di ricerca si concentra ultimamente sul filone della radiomica, con l'estrazione di biomarker utili per la predizione della risposta tumorale al trattamento e della tossicità. L' attività scientifica si è in parte indirizzata ultimamente, in coerenza alle proposte progettuali e ai finanziamenti ricevuti nel filone "Tecnologie per gli ambienti di vita", alla valutazione dell'introduzione delle tecnologie ICT per la cura e il benessere del soggetto fragile e del malato .
