My research focuses on the design, characterization, and application of liposomal systems and model membranes with applications in health and environmental sciences. These biomimetic systems allow the study, at a physicochemical and molecular level, of the interactions between drugs, emerging contaminants, biomolecules, and nanomaterials with cellular and bacterial membranes. My research lines include the evaluation of the bioavailability and impact of emerging contaminants present in wastewater on model lipid membranes; the development of nanoliposomes stabilized with amorphous silica for biomedical applications related to bone pathologies and controlled drug delivery; the assessment of drug candidates using bacterial model membranes for the development of new antimicrobial strategies; and the formulation of liposomal nutraceutical systems aimed at improving the bioavailability of bioactive compounds. These studies integrate concepts from membrane biophysics, colloid chemistry, and nanobiotechnology, and are carried out through collaborations with different research areas within the Department of Chemistry at the Universidad Nacional del Sur and INQUISUR–CONICET.
