Ricerc@Sapienza

The research activities of the laboratory are focused on the development of innovative drug delivery systems and bio-inspired materials engineering. In particular:

• Coordinated by Prof. Patrizia Paolicelli:
  The research focuses on the preparation and characterization of thin films, hydrogels and cryogels, as well as on the design of three-dimensional structures through 3D bioprinting. The goal is to develop functional and biocompatible matrices for biomedical and pharmaceutical applications.

• Coordinated by Prof. Stefania Petralito:
  The group carries out research activities dedicated to the design of lipid-based nanocarriers (nanoemulsions, liposomes, SLN/NLC) and to the development of stimuli-responsive materials capable of modulating the release of active molecules in response to physical stimuli.

These research lines are integrated within a multidisciplinary approach aimed at developing innovative, bio-inspired lipid- and polymer-based  systems.
