Purpose
The purpose of PEPSA-MATE is to create a multidisciplinary team – including early career researchers – to derive novel products from polysaccharides (complex carbohydrates) and peptides nanoparticles using experimental and computer-based theoretical design approaches and innovative ultrasonic fabrication technologies. Being eco-friendly alternatives to conventional fossil fuel-derived materials, the engineered nanoparticles are used as drug-delivery systems and biodegradable plastic matrix.
