Detail

Introduction

We use biomaterials and drug delivery approaches to invent innovative treatment methods in order to effectively and safely cure various diseases, particularly severe ones such as cancer and cardiovascular disease. To this end, we engineer/process biomaterials and evaluate them in in vitro and in vivo settings.​
