Design and preparation of novel polymeric and composite carriers for high-performance solid-phase processes based on the principle of biological recognition; study of the processes of biospecific macromolecular interaction involving specially designed solid surfaces. Creation, investigation and practical application of biomedical materials based on macromolecular compounds.

Lines of research:

• Development of synthetic methods for biodegradable and bioresorbable reactive polymers.
• Development of preparation methods for materials of various designs (polymeric macro- and supraporous blocks, thin layers, solid and hollow nanosized particles).
• Development of methods for biological functionalization of polymeric materials by covalent and non-covalent conjugation with specific bioligands (“smart” materials or biomimetics).
• Development of in vitro test methods for biomaterials during operation (biochips, enzyme reactors, nanocontainers for drug delivery, etc.)
