Research Summary

(inferred from publications by AI)

The researcher's work is centered around advancements in bio-inspired drug delivery systems, particularly for wound healing, chronic wounds, and diabetes care. Their focus includes developing novel formulations for drug delivery (e.g., composite films, bioformulations) with a strong emphasis on biocompatible materials such as PEG-based films and multiscale approaches like yeast films and polysaccharides. They also explore sustainable and multiscale systems for treatment, such as bioresorbable meshes and multiscale drug delivery strategies. These efforts are driven by a commitment to improving health outcomes through innovative therapeutic interventions.
