Research Activities

The research activity is mainly focused on:

• Biomaterials for Healthcare: design, advanced methods of characterization. Biomaterials for regenerative medicine based on bioactive glasses and substituted calcium phosphates. Biomedical cements. Biomimetic materials. Materials for cranio-facial defects, implants for skull.
• Coatings for biomedical implants for orthopaedics and dentistry. Coatings on titanium implants and on biodegradable implants. Coatings materials are based on bioactive glasses and substituted calcium phosphates.
• New diagnostic techniques for tumours, based on biochemical profile. Application of Raman spectroscopy for cancer diagnostics. Investigated human tissues: thyroid, parathyroid, lymph nodes. By Raman spectroscopy we were able to discriminate low grade primary tumours from benign tissues, high grade primary tumours from tumour metastasis (secondary tumours), and tumour grades.
• Superhard materials and coatings for technological applications (cutting and forming tools): borates and carbides of transition metals.

• Organization of the biennial International Congress BioMaH “Biomaterials and Novel Technologies for Healthcare” https://biomah.ism.cnr.it//
• Scientific Divulgation: demonstration and discussion of scientific experiments with students of Scientific High School “Talete” of Rome
