Our Group’s work focuses on the design of novel materials for controlled drug delivery. Our aim is to develop novel formulations for improving the treatment of diseases that are incurable to date or challenging to treat. To this purpose, we use a wide variety of technological tools including nanoparticles and polymeric materials combined together in order to deliver drugs to their targets in a more efficient manner. We have a strong focus on infectious diseases, but we are also interested in psychedelic drugs, gene therapy, wound healing, and food science, among others.
