Project aims: This interdisciplinary project deals with preparation of novel biocompatible nanostructured materials with bioactive surfaces for applications to medicine. Nano-precursory drug delivery systems with increased bioactivity and stability will be developed as well as materials such as nanocrystalline diamond, polymers and carbon nanotubes, nanofibres and other drug vehicles. Key factors that influence bio/non-bio interfacial properties as the charge, polarity, mobility and geometric organisation of molecular motifs at surfaces will be studied, providing the surface cues conditioning cellular and colloidal interactions with on the molecular expression level. Integrated smart systems with functionalised surfaces with synthesised biomolecules as porphyrins, biopolymers and polysaccharides will be studied for transport of DNA, peptides and cytostatics with targeted therapeutic action and biodegradation protection and for drug-diluted stents.
