• PREPARATION OF SELFCURING POLYMERIC SYSTEMS FOR SURGERY . The line is centered in the de- velopment of selfcuring polymer systems of low toxicity, high biocompatibility for application for the biomechanical stabilization of prosthesis and as controlled delivery systems of bioactive compounds (antibiotics, bactericide, anti-inflammatory agents, antithromobgenic) .
• POLYMER DRUGS AND TARGETING SYSTEMS . Preparation of bioactive polymer systems with tar- geting properties for the application and release of wellknown bioactive compounds with anti-in- flammatory action, antithrombogenic, antiproliferative, antioxidant . This is one of the mean lines of the group, with cooperation with companies of the biomedical and pharmaceutical fields . Bioactive polymer systems have been designed for bioactive coatings of drug eluted stents DES for coronary treatment, bioactive abdominal meshes with antibiotic action at local level (targeting), intraocular lenses with controlled proliferative action and antiangiogenic actions, polymer drugs with low toxic action for cancer therapy .
• BIODEGRADABLE POLYMER SYSTEMS FOR SURGERY AND PHARMACY . Design and development of resorbable polymer systems as porous scaffolds of great interest in processes of tissue regeneration (Tissue Engineering) . The polymer systems offers wide spectra of formulations with hydrophobic or hydrophilic character, which allows the preparation of 3D scaffolds to be applied in regeneration of bone tissue, epidermal or connective tissues, with specific properties . Several patents have been regis- tered and are on transfer processes to several companies of the biomedical device sector .
