Welcome to the Lab of Biopolymers For Food and Health

Our group aims at improving human health both by preventive nutrition and by diagnostic/curative biomedicine.

Our research focuses on biopolymers, their extraction, properties, and applications in food and nanomedicine.

Fundamentally we study biopolymer interactions with low molecular weight compounds in aqueous solutions.

Our studies encompass the whole range from basic physical chemistry, through in-vitro cell cultures and in-vivo animal studies, to human clinical trials.

So, what do we do?
