ADVANCED MULTIFUNCTIONAL NANOMATERIALS WITH

BIOMEDICAL APPLICATIONS

-Inorganic nanoparticles (QDs, magnetic NPs) for diagnostic

-Nanoparticulate drug delivery systems (liposomes, polymeric
nanoparticles and nanocapsules, polymeric micelles, organo-
modified silica NPs, microemulsions, liquid crystals)
-Modeling the interaction of drugs with model membranes
(monolayers, lipid vesicles) as alternative correlation methods
for the evaluation of in vivo activity.
 SCIENCE OF CONSERVATION/RESTORATION
IN CULTURAL HERITAGE

1. Synthesis and investigation of new materials

for cleaning, consolidation and preservation
of cultural heritage artifacts;
