Polymer chemistry and macromolecular engineering: controlled radical polymerisation (RAFT and PET-RAFT), ring-opening polymerisation (ROP) and polymer functionalisation
Synthesis of small-molecule building blocks: amino acid- and lipoic acid-derived functional monomers, RAFT chain-transfer agents and bioactive crosslinkers
Polymer topology (linear, block, star, brush, cyclic and hyperbranched) and its effect on biological activity and biocompatibility
Biodegradable, redox- and stimuli-responsive polymers designed for controlled degradation
Host defence peptide-inspired antimicrobial and antifungal polymers, including nitric oxide-releasing dual-action systems, to combat antimicrobial resistance
Polyurethane-based biomaterials for biomedical applications
Drug delivery and nanomedicine: targeted inorganic (mesoporous silica), polymeric, lipid-based, protein-based and microneedle systems for anticancer therapy and theranostics
Photo-mediated 3D printing of polymeric and biomedical structures
