Dr. Sonia Nasi obtained her PhD in Life Sciences from the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, in 2015 and has studied the mechanisms, effects, and treatments of pathologic calcification in musculoskeletal diseases, such as osteoarthritis and chondrocalcinosis extensively. She then moved for a post-doc at the University of Münster, Germany, where she extended her investigations to calcific tendinopathy. Since 2021, she has been Principal Investigator in the Laboratory of Rheumatology, University Hospital of Lausanne, pursuing her research on how extracellular matrix changes can influence pathologic calcification. In parallel to her academic role, she is co-founder of Sulfiscon SA, a start-up company aimed at discovering new molecules to treat calcification disorders in men.
