Biomaterials Engineering

Our research focuses on the design and development of advanced biomaterials, including hydrogels, microgels, and hybrid materials for biotechnology and biomedical applications.

Research Focus

  • Hydrogel and microgel engineering
  • Alginate-based biomaterials
  • Hybrid biomaterials with ZIF systems
  • Biomaterials for immobilization and biocatalysis

Overview

We develop functional biomaterials with tailored structural and physicochemical properties for enzyme immobilization, catalysis, and biomedical use. Our work includes alginate hydrogels, dopamine-modified systems, and hybrid materials combining polymer matrices with metal–organic frameworks.

These biomaterials enable improved stability, reusability, and performance of biocatalytic and bioactive systems in complex environments.

Approaches and Methods

  • Hydrogel and microgel fabrication
  • Biomimetic mineralization and ZIF-based composites
