Bioinspired hybrid nano-materials from self-assembling peptide-polymer, lipopeptide and polymer-cholic acid conjugates. Line of research Synthesis and characterization of bioinspired amphiphilic conjugates that selfassemble in water providing nanometric materials whose functions, size and morphology are optimized for applications in the field of drug delivery. These conjugates, obtained by combination of suitable synthetic and natural polymers, peptides, fatty acids and cholic acids, produce by bottom-up processes nanosystems with functional and structural properties that can be tuned to obtain materials responsive to pH, temperature and ionic strength. allegato strategico 2018 eng.pdf Staff Supervisor: Giancarlo MasciAnita ScipioniDepartment staff: Andrea D'AnnibalePatrizia GentiliLuciano GalantiniCamillo La MesaFrancesca Leonelli Publications Peptides with regularly alternating enantiomeric sequence: From ion channel models to bioinspired nanotechnological applicationsCurcumin loaded nanocarriers obtained by self-assembly of a linear d,l-octapeptide-poly(ethylene glycol) conjugateSupramolecular assembly of a thermoresponsive steroidal surfactant with an oppositely charged thermoresponsive block copolymerSelf-assembly and drug release study of linear l,d-oligopeptide-poly(ethylene glycol) conjugatesPEGylated β‐Sheet Breaker Peptides as Inhibitors of β‐Amyloid FibrillizationBioinspired Nanotubes from Self‐Assembly of a Linear l,d‐Oligopeptide‐Poly(ethylene glycol) Conjugate Collaborations National collaborations: Diociaiuti Marco (Dip di Tecnologia e Salute, Istituto Superiore di Sanità, RM)Stefano Casciardi (Centro di Ricerche INAIL, Monteporzio Catone, RM)Giovanna Mancini (IMC-CNR)Cecilia Bombelli (IMC-CNR)Francesca Ceccacci (IMC-CNR)Francesca D’Acunzo (IMC-CNR)International collaborations: Luciani Paola (Institut für Pharmazie, Friedrich Schiller Universität, Jena, DE) Fundings and awards Fundings: Preparation and characterization of self-complementing hybrid nano-particles with potential applications in biomimetic technologies - Progetto di ricerca (bando ricerca scientifica Sapienza 2017)Materiali innovativi nella bonifica di falde acquifere contaminate: caratterizzazione, reattività e ipotesi di implementazione tecnologica - Progetto di ricerca (bando ricerca scientifica Sapienza 2017)Characterization of Nanohybrids for Biomedicine - Progetto di ricerca (bando ricerca scientifica Sapienza 2016) Theme and ERC Theme: MaterialsERC: PE4_4 Surface science and nanostructuresPE5_7 Biomaterials synthesisPE5_14 Macromolecular chemistry Traineeship offer Area di ricerca: Industrial chemistryAvailability: two positionsCourse of study (advised): ChemistryIndustrial chemistry
