Scientific staff is organized into two departments: Surfactants and Nanobiotechnology and Biological Chemistry. Within these, work is carried out in research groups, totaling twenty-one groups. Research efforts are also structured into four major cross-cutting research lines.
In our department, we conduct multidisciplinary research at the frontier between chemistry and biology. Our work focuses on the design, synthesis, and study of new compounds with potential applications in the biological and biomedical fields, as well as the development of more efficient synthetic processes and the implementation of advanced computational chemistry and artificial intelligence methods.
The Department’s research focuses on the development of nano(bio)systems for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes, combining principles of chemistry and biology with advanced technologies. The work is organized around two axes: the design of biomolecules (such as oligonucleotides, proteins, antibodies, and dendrimers) and their integration into nanostructured materials and devices. The unit also develops innovative surfactants and supramolecular colloids to produce nanomaterials with various applications and functionalities.
