Riccardo Rosati

Dentist, PhD

I received my degree in Dentistry and Dental Prosthetics from the University of Milan and my Ph.D. in Morphological Sciences from the same university.

I later obtained a Master’s degree in “Endodontics and Restorative Dentistry” from the University of Siena and a Master’s degree in “Sports Dentistry” from the University of Chieti G.D’Annunzio.

I am interested in scientific research regarding the morphological analysis of facial soft tissues and functional assessments of the masticatory and neck muscles using non-invasive techniques.

Since 2003, member of the staff of the Functional Anatomy Research Center (FARC) of the University of Milan.

From 2022 Adjunct Professor at the University of Genoa and from 2025 at the University of Milan.

Scientific director of the development of biomedical devices and softwares: easymyo.com, myowise.com, tracymed.com.

Member of the editorial board -The European Journal of Translational Myology.

Member of the managing committee of the Italian Society of Sports Odontostomatology since 2020.
