Main Research Interests
1. Fibrin related technologies for tissue regeneration
§ Development and research of fibrin microbeads (FMB) for 3D cell-culture in suspension isolation of stem cells and tissue engineering.
§ Development of fibrin related Haptotactic peptides (Haptides) and analogous sequences for enhancement of cellularization of different matrices, transduction of molecules and liposomes into cells and drug delivery
2. Research on Isolation and growth and implantation of adult stem cells from different sources and their growth in 3D condition.
3. Research related to Radiobiology and Cancer Research
§ Effect of radiation on normal tissues and on wound healing
§ Reversal of radiation effects on skin.
§ Effect of the combination of radiation with drugs on normal and transformed cells
§ Immune Targeting for cancer treatment
4. Devices technologies (Projects for commercialization)
§ VESA - Viscoelastic Skin Analyzer. Building and testing a device for the measurement of the physical properties of skin and other soft tissues.
