Main lines of research
• New dendrimer synthesis and functionalization strategies . • Biomedical applications of dendrimers as nucleic acid carriers (antisense oligonucleotides, interference
RNA, etc) for cancer and HIV gene therapy .
• Biomedical applications of dendrimers as drug carriers (for anti-inflammatory agents, antiviral, antitu- mor agents, etc) .
• Development of dendrimers as antiviral agents (especially as HIV inhibitors) and antibacterial agents . • Development of anti-prion dendrimers and for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease . • Development of dendrimers in vaccines . • Development of metal complexes for their antiviral, antibacterial and/or anti-cancer use .
