Research

The design and build up of biofunctional nanosurfaces on different supports to investigate relevant problems in biology and to understand and predict the interactions of living cells with materials constitute the general research topic of this Unit.

The design and build up of biofunctional nanosurfaces on different supports to investigate relevant problems in biology and to understand and predict the interactions of living cells with materials constitute the general research topic of this Unit. Biosurfaces and biointerfaces represent an emerging area that lies at the interface of bioscience and nanoscience. Present knowledge on of the structure and the function of biomolecules combined with the ability to immobilize them onto surfaces while retaining their functionality has opened a new area of research on biomimetic materials, enabling applications ranging from biosensors to integrated medical nanosystems to perform complex repair actions at the cellular level.
