Erica Del Grosso is Associate Professor at the Department of Chemical Science and Technology of the University of Rome Tor Vergata. During her PhD, she was a visiting researcher at the University of Montréal (Canada), and during her post-doc she was awarded the prestigious Marie Curie Individual Global Fellowship. As MSCA researcher she spent 1 year at the University of California, Santa Barbara (USA), in the group of Prof. Kevin W. Plaxco. Erica’s research has also been recognized with several awards: the first place for the “Reaxys SCI Early Career Researcher Award” for young researchers under 35 (2018), the Silver Medal of the “European Young Chemist Award” (2022) and she was selected as a finalist for the “Women Interactive Materials Award” (2024). As Assistant Professor she focused her research activity in the field of DNA nanotechnology and on the development of DNA-based nanodevices for sensing and diagnostic applications. In 2025 she was awarded a “FIS2 – Fondo Italiano per la Scienza” Grant from the Italian Ministry of University and Research (MUR) and a “My First AIRC” Grant from the AIRC Foundation.
