Research Groups
1. Nano- and Microstructured Entities for Targeted Biomedical Applications
Development of nanometric, versatile and biomimetic components. Multi-functional nanosystems will be obtained, which can be directed to a target, capable of transporting several active principles and / or whose action, generating therapeutic effects, can be modulated through various external stimuli.
2. Micro- and Nanostructured Supramolecular Systems: Design, Synthesis & Applications
Development of supramolecular assembling strategies for nano and microstructured systems using functional organic units, macromolecules, biomolecules and their derivatives
