What does the laboratory do

We develop and characterize technological platforms aimed at improving the effectiveness and safety of active pharmaceutical ingredients. We are interested in the development of nano and biomaterials and the study of their interactions with the environment. Our research activities concern the chemistry of polymers, the preparation of nanomaterials, as well as the characterization of their fate in the blood circulation of several animal models.
