Biomedical Chemistry

The research of the Biomedical Chemistry group (BMC) focuses on creating composite molecules for a variety of applications. Various non-organic substances can be incorporated in biomedical materials. In this way BMC is providing medicinal science with a new generation of materials that will improve the targeting of therapies offered to patients.

For example, the group has created molecules that are broken down by the body after a set time or that can be used to deliver drugs to specific places in the body. Entirely new tissues can be created in the laboratory. The group has also developed techniques to ensure optimum interaction between drugs and human cells.
