Senior Scientific Researcher

Research interests: Scientific competence in : Technology of lipidic nanostructures (designing of biocompatible and efficient lipidic nanostructures suitable for the therapy of the inflammatory diseases); biocompatibility studies using different cells in culture; liposome interaction with immunocompetent cells; cellular response investigation during inflammatory process; investigation on the biodistribution and the mechanisms involved in the interaction between different liposome system and cell types, through in vitro and in vivo studies; identification of the liposome target. Principal subjects/occupational skills covered: Liposomes as controlled drug delivery system during inflammatory process - competence in: technology of lipidic nanostructures ; cell culture techniques ; biotoxicity studies -biochemistry, cell biology, immunochemistry techniques.
