Since the beginning of my studies, I have been interested in working at the interface of chemistry and biology. Through the years, I investigated the biophysical characteristics of bio-membrane; their interaction with drugs, proteins, and fluorescent probes. I had the chance to characterize lipid formulations for different purposes and use them as drug carriers systems. My research is now focused predominantly on the development of a lipid based gel delivery systems. These materials exhibit a unique combination of properties: they are biocompatible and able to entrap molecules of various polarities and sizes; they have a soft-gel consistency that enables them to act as depot and thus enhance the epithelium drug permeability achieving exquisite spatial, temporal and dosage control when administered topically or subcutaneously.

Inflammatory bowel disease is a chronic condition of unknown origin characterized by severe inflammation and mucosal destruction in the intestine. There are two main forms: Crohn’s disease, which can affect the entire gastrointestinal tract; and ulcerative colitis, which is a mucosal inflammation involving the rectum and colon. Biological therapies and small-molecule drug had a clear impact on the management of IBD, however optimization of medical therapy is still required. The broader aim of our research is to build drug delivery systems able to overcome current limitations using biocompatible phospholipids and hydrogels.

By transplanting composite grafts such as faces or limbs, vascularised composite transplantation (VCA) has a potential to radically improve patients’ lives. A major challenge is the need for life-long systemic immunomodulatory therapy for these patients, which leads to their shorter life expectancy. My research focuses on building depot delivery systems that bring the drug in the right doses where it’s needed, without doing harm to the other parts of the body. Using biocompatible phospholipids and gels to build these delivery systems, the VCA patients could live longer and with less frequent drug administration.

The development of lipid-based depot formulations for subcutaneous administration is driven by patient needs. Injectable depot formulations can overcome drawbacks of conventional subcutaneous drug delivery. By local deposition of the delivery system, the immediate systemic exposure can be limited. Further, the frequency of administration can be reduced, due to the sustained release properties of the lipid-based formulation. Developing drug delivery systems for sustained release provides me with the opportunity to help solving complex health problems in a patient centric manner.
