Prof. Marina Resmini - Project Coordinator Professor of Materials Chemistry Queen Mary, University of London The main research interests of our group are currently focused on the development of novel functional nanomaterials with potential applications at the physical and life sciences interface. We use chemistry to confer special properties to materials to be used as drug delivery systems, catalysts and sensors. In the area of drug delivery our clinical targets are cutaneous diseases, hair follicles and neural stem cells. In catalysis we are researching novel biomimetic systems by applying the molecular imprinting approach to different formats of nanoparticles. We have recently started working on the development of novel biosensors for the detection of mycotoxins. Current research projects include: Biomimetic control of product selectivity using imprinted nanogels Imprinted polymers as biosensors for the detection of mycotoxins Thermoresponsive nanogels as smart materials for topical drug delivery New fluorescent molecules for monitoring drug loading and release in nanoparticles Novel colloidal nanoparticles: physico-chemical characterization and interaction with lipid membranes Toxicity studies of nanogels using zebrafish Block-copolymer micelles for enhanced drug delivery in hair follicles Self-immolative nanoparticles Stimuli-responsive nanoparticles as novel topical drug delivery systems Novel nanoparticles as phosphatase mimic Websites [the following links open in a new window] Prof. Marina Resmini's webpage Queen Mary, University of London School of Biological and Chemical Sciences, QMUL Back to Partners page
