    Research interests

    Nanomaterials play a fundamental role in modern healthcare applications as a new medical tool. Since they can improve the physicochemical and biological characteristics of compounds and organisms. For example, nanomaterials can improve the solubility of compounds, reduce antiviral and antibacterial side effects, improve drug and vaccine delivery, improve the shape fidelity and resolution of 3D scaffolds used for tissue regeneration, and improve the immune response acting as adjuvants.
