After completing a bachelor’s degree in Chemistry at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, Aello specialized in Synthetic Organic Chemistry by pursuing a Master’s degree at the same institution. She then transitioned to an industrial environment, where she applied her chemical expertise for three years. In 2026, she began her PhD at MERLN.

Her current research focuses on bio-polymers, combining chemistry with biology, and material sciences. Specifically, she develops polymers that incorporate pyruvic acid as a structural component and investigates their physicochemical and biological properties. Pyruvic acid is known for its anti-inflammatory activity, and its release during polymer degradation is expected to reduce inflammation and modulate the foreign body response. This is achieved by influencing macrophage polarization, aiming to regulate the balance between pro-inflammatory (M1) and anti-inflammatory (M2) phenotypes.
