Area of Research

Description of Research Interest

Our research is focused on the development of complex material structures and chemistries for biomedical applications. By studying the fundamental processes of biology and materials science, our aim is to produce tangible technologies with clinical and societal impact in the fields of regenerative medicine, drug delivery and biomedical diagnostics.
The research in our lab is highly multidisciplinary, as our group members come from diverse backgrounds ranging from biology to engineering. We are involved in the design of biomaterial scaffolds with controlled biochemical and mechanical properties for 3D cell culture, the production of nanoparticles for drug delivery applications, 3D printed scaffolds for tissue regeneration, and the development of hydrogels for thermal stabilization of complex biomolecules.
