Formulation Strategies & Nanosolutions

The Formulation Strategies and Nanosolutions Lab (FSNLab) aims to develop formulations providing optimized delivery, mainly for topical and transdermal administration. The group resorts to different strategies, such as those based on lipid-based nanosystems or on the use of novel and sustainable ingredients and biomaterials.

The findings obtained in bioinspired nanoformulations for skin diseases characterized by barrier impairments paved the way to our current and future research goals, aiming to deepen the understanding of sustained and targeted delivery of drugs and bioactive compounds for skin application and beyond. The lab uses characterization, stability, and in vitro and in vivo functional assays to establish the quality, safety and efficacy of the formulations.
