The principal resarch field of Ilaria Toniolo focused mainly on the mechanical evaluation of biological tissues and structures. Using an innovative coupled experimental and computational approach, the overarching aim is to optimize biomedical devices and refine surgical techniques, emphasizing the mechanical and mechano-biological aspects. The endeavors are tailored to address real and critical clinical needs.

The central focus of the research encompasses several key areas: the mechano-physiology of gastrointestinal structures, in-depth analysis of bariatric surgery through computational modeling, the mechanical functionality of the lower urinary tract, bone tissue material evaluation using CT scans, the mechanical aspects of the eye. Also, the development of automated procedures based on neural networks and biomedical image analysis is a pivotal research topic aimed at generating patient-specific numerical models of various organs, facilitating an in-depth, tailored evaluation of surgical procedures through virtual simulations.
