Research theses
We offer a thesis internship focused on the design, fabrication, and physico-chemical characterization of nanozyme-based hybrid nanomaterials for tissue regeneration. The project centers on enzyme-mimicking nanostructures composed of graphene oxide (GO), magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs), and palladium (Pd), engineered to promote regenerative processes.
Interns will employ both wet-chemical synthesis and biomimetic strategies, including functionalization with bioactive peptide sequences, to tailor material properties and biological performance. Activities include nanomaterial synthesis, surface functionalization, peptide loading, and investigation of nano–bio interactions.
A wide range of advanced characterization techniques will be used, including UV–Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism (CD), FTIR, XPS, confocal microscopy, as well as electron and atomic force microscopy.
This internship is particularly suited for students interested in materials bioengineering, nanomedicine, theranostics, neuroregeneration, bone tissue engineering, skin regeneration, wound healing, and advanced materials characterization.
