Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences

Notable Projects

• Preparation and characterization of Gusperimus carrier nanoparticles with potential application in the process of islet cells implantation for the treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus.
• Study on the effects of nanotransported polyphenols and cannabinoids as a therapeutic application in an in vitro and in vivo oxidative stress model of Alzheimer and Parkinson disease.
• Preparation of composite membranes from functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles and sulfonated poly (ether ether sulfone) with potential application in methanol fuel cells.
• Preparation of solid antimicrobial biomaterials through immobilization of KR-12 peptide and analogs in siliceous materials and assessment of their behavior in fibrin gel for dressings.

Main Research Results

• Polymeric nanoparticles where various active principles showing no cytotoxic effects, good encapsulation efficiency, and controlled delivery have been encapsulated.
• Polymeric membranes of ion exchange to be used in fuel cells, with low water retention, low methanol permeability, and proper phase separation with presence of channels inside the membrane.
• Electrodes to be used as cathodes and anodes.
• Hybrid materials to be used as support for enzymes, peptides, and others.
