Current research area:
Fundamental and applied studies on polymer microspheres and related materials for medical applications, in particular for medical diagnostics and drug delivery, including the following topics:
- Synthesis of polymer microspheres suitable for controlled adsorption and covalent immobilization of biologically active compounds, mainly proteins and oligonucleotides.
- Synthesis of fluorescent and colored microspheres.
- Direct synthesis of biodegradable microspheres by ionic (or pseudoionic) ring-opening dispersion polymerization of heterocyclic monomers (drug carriers and carriers of other bioactive compounds).
- Studies on nanoparticles formed from biodegradable polymers.
- Studies of surface layers of microspheres (chemical composition, segmental mobility, distribution of functional groups)
- Studies of conformational changes of proteins at polymer-solvent interfaces.
- Studies of relations between biologic activity of proteins attached onto microspheres and structure and chemical composition of microsphere surface layers.
- Studies of microsphere assemblies on liquid-solid interfaces.
- Fabrication and characterization of microsphere-related materials for medical diagnostics (reagents for aggregation tests and components for manufacturing of biosensors)
- Fabrication of polymer scaffolds for tissue engineering.
