Research lines

  • Drug-membrane interactions: mechanisms of action and affinity studies
  • Evaluation and optimisation of colloidal drug delivery systems (polymer micelles, vesicles, etc.) through studies at the air/water interface with changes in pH, temperature and small solutes
  • Host/guest studies in novel controlled drug delivery systems.
  • Interaction between polymers and biomembranes: new materials and drug targeting
  • Mechanism of action and biomembrane interactions of peptides and proteins with pharmacological activity
  • Penetration of soluble substances into monolayers spread at the air/water interface as colloidal carriers and biomembrane models
  • Study of mixed monolayers of compounds of biochemical and biological application
  • Surface characterisation of new surfactants with potential use in drug delivery systems
