BIOINSIDE LAB

The group is active in biomedical research, with particular emphasis on engineering in surgery, biomolecular, cellular and tissue engineering; controlled drug delivery; bioartificial systems and materials. The group is highly multidisciplinary with competences ranging from chemistry to materials science and biomedical engineering, and combines expertise in polymer synthesis, biomedicine, engineering and bionanotechnologies to design novel bioinspired constructs able to guide and induce specific biological responses.

The team is divided in 2 groups, working in two different laboratories located in Turin and Alessandria.
