The research is structured around two main pillars. The first focuses on Oncological Nanomedicine, applying advanced synthesis and characterization techniques for the design of liposomal-based nanosystems. These systems are optimized via physicochemical methodologies to achieve thermostability and high efficiency, and are characterized structurally and kinetically to assess their potential as targeted carriers for antitumor drugs, serving as an alternative to conventional delivery systems. The second pillar is Polymeric Biomaterials Engineering, which uses synthesis and functionalization techniques to develop materials that mimic bone tissue properties. These biomaterials are subjected to rigorous testing and characterization protocols in hostile or extreme environments to study their behavior and structural stability for advanced applications, particularly in the aerospace sector.
