Martina Conte is a non-tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences “G.L. Lagrange” at Politecnico di Torino (Italy). She obtained her Ph.D. in Mathematics and Statistics from the University of the Basque Country in 2021. Between 2021 and 2025, she held postdoctoral research positions at the University of Granada, Politecnico di Torino, and the University of Parma. In 2022, she received the Reinhart-Heinrich Doctoral Thesis Award from the European Society of Mathematical and Theoretical Biology (ESMTB) for the best doctoral thesis in Mathematical and Theoretical Biology, and in 2023, she was awarded the Extraordinary Doctoral Award in Science by the University of the Basque Country.

Her research is highly interdisciplinary, focusing on the application of mathematical and computational modeling to biological and medical systems. She is particularly interested in multiscale phenomena, investigating mechanisms that operate across different levels—from microscopic processes to macroscopic dynamics—and how these influence the behavior of heterogeneous multi-agent systems. Her work centers on nonlinear models, either formally derived from mesoscopic transport equations or directly formulated at the macroscopic scale, with an emphasis on their formulation and formal derivation. Her primary research area concerns cell migration dynamics and the influence of the microenvironment on these processes. A substantial part of her work also involves the numerical integration of models, simulations in realistic geometries, and the analysis and integration of experimental data.
