My research focuses on molecular design and processing of polymeric materials for biomedical applications. Studies currently underway include:
- hydrogels as biocompatible materials. They possibly contain or deliver biologically active substances and they may be degraded either by cell activity or by aspecific chemical reactions.
- Colloids, such as nanoparticles, vesicles (liposomes) and micelles, which are able to circulate in body fluids and to respond to environmental factors for obtaining a responsive release of bioactive components.
