Nanomedicine

By using the innovative nanomaterials synthesized in the Biomedical Lab, our group has designed nano-size drug delivery systems with high tumor selectivity.

These materials bear active functional groups, which have been exploited to couple antibodies able to selectively recognize specific cancer cells. Our nano-systems have shown high efficacy inin vitrotests.
