Department of Medical Microbiology and Nanobiomedical Engineering is dedicated to pioneering research at the intersection of chemical, biological, and medical sciences. Our multidisciplinary approach has led to groundbreaking developments in nanomaterials with potent antibacterial properties and unique physicochemical characteristics. We focus on developing nanomaterials for optimal drug delivery to sites of infection in living organisms, creating materials and surfaces that inhibit bacterial growth and biofilm formation, and devising novel diagnostic methods rooted in the specific interactions between bacterial surface molecules and nanomaterial particles.
