Research and Development
Design and synthesis of encapsulation systems for controlled release of bioactive agents with on-demand targeted delivery to specific organs or sites, leveraging nanoencapsulation to improve delivery precision and efficiency. The approach employs environmentally friendly processes and systematic physicochemical characterization and efficacy testing, with applications across human and animal health products, beauty and personal care, and household product sectors.
Research and development activities are organized into five core research groups and one specialized research team with research and development mandates as follows
• Nanoencapsulation and Biodelivery Systems Research Group (NCBS)
• Nanocatalysis, Adsorption, and Simulation Research Group (NCAS)
• Advanced Nanocharacterization, Safety, and Informatics Research Group (ANS)
• Hybrid Materials and Nanoprocesses Research Group (HMNP)
• Responsive Material and Nanosensors Research Group (RMNS)
