The Supramolecular Systems in Nanobiomedicine group is interested in the design and evaluation of gold nanoparticles with different conjugates for the treatment of cancer and inflammatory skin diseases. Main research lines are:
– Supramolecular chemistry
– Template synthesis and self-assembly in organic synthesis
– Supramolecular hydrogels for drug delivery
– Functionalisation of micro/nanoparticles for tagging and actuate in living cells
– Nanobiosensors
– Nanoparticles for drug delivery
– Nanomaterials for photodynamic therapy
– Molecular machines and switches
