My research work is part of the ResMoSys Marie Slodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network and is dedicated to the synthesis and characterization of new stimuli-responsive hydrogel for innovative biomedical application. I am working on the preparation of cross-linked biocompatible hydrogels to be used for clinical applications and of stimuli-responsive luminescent hydrogels to be used as cellular scaffolds.
