Research Description:

Prina-Mello's research interests are focused on: 1) Advanced Translational Research of NanoMedicine (from Pre-clinical to Clinical, Precision, Personalised, Targeted nanomedicine), 2) Therapeutics based on nanotechnology and multilayered structures, 3) Theranostics and Personalised Medicine (in vitro/ in vivo diagnostic, imaging and treatment), 4) Dynamic interaction between nano-developed-products and biologically relevant models (nanotoxicology, nanobiocompatibility, nanosafety and nanobiotechnology), 5) Microfluidic systems applied to ultra-sensitive diagnostics (lab-on-a chip) 6) Biomedical devices and Tissue engineering applications of nanotechnology and nanomaterials, 7) Nanomedicine Characterization and Safety 8) In vitro complex models and tissue mimetic 9) Compliance to 3Rs principle 10) Development of Regulatory Science and Policy for nanotechnology-enabled medicine. Additional interests are also in pre-clinical screening, interdisciplinary science and research for nanomedicine and nanotechnology-based medical technology development (e.g., biomaterials, biocompatibility, high throughput and content screening, multiparametric analysys, data mining, bioelectromagnetisms biophysics, biomechanics, single cell assay and cellular engineering).
