- Biodegradable polymeric scaffolds for tissue and organ regeneration (e.g., bone, osteochondral and blood vessel engineering)
- Biopolymers characterization and processing (e.g., polyesters and polysaccharides synthesized by bacteria or extracted from vegetal sources)
- Additive manufacturing (3D Printing) of polymeric materials and composites
- Polyelectrolyte complexes for in vitro tumor modeling (e.g., chitosan/hyaluronic acid complexes)
- Electrospinning of polymeric nanofibers for tissue engineering and drug release (e.g., controlled release of natural flavonoids)
- Polymeric nanoparticles for drug release and antimicrobial applications
- Epoxy resin adhesives for biomedical ultrasound probes
On-going funded projects:
“Anti-inflammatory reprogramming of microglia as a retinal neurodegeneration therapy” PRA project funded by the University of Pisa (Italy).
“Automation of ultrasound probes manufacturing processes” A-Promise, funded by Tuscany Region (Italy)
