Biodegradable and biocompatible delivery systems for agricultural and biopharmaceutical applications
About
Our expertise centers on the design and engineering of biodegradable polymeric biomaterials for controlled delivery of active compounds in bio-agriculture systems, with the goal of enhancing crop protection and plant nutrition. These delivery platforms are also adaptable to biomedical applications, enabling targeted delivery of therapeutic agents for the treatment of human health conditions. We develop advanced biomaterials through the conjugation of natural and synthetic polymers to create amphiphilic systems that facilitate efficient encapsulation and transport of active ingredients without the need for surfactants. This approach improves the stability, protection, and site-specific delivery of actives, offering significant advantages across the food, agrochemical, and biopharmaceutics.
