Medicinal Chemistry Research Group

We design smart materials that bridge chemistry with the real needs of medicine and pharmacy

 

Artur Borowski

Medicinal Chemistry Research Group focuses on the development of advanced functional materials for      applications in medicine, pharmacy, and environmental protection. Our research combines chemistry,          nanotechnology, and biomedicine, with a particular emphasis on designing smart materials with precisely     tailored properties. One of our main research directions is the development of magnetic nanoparticles     modified with biocompatible polymers. These nanomaterials are investigated as drug delivery systems,       enzyme immobilization platforms, and components of combined therapeutic approaches, including magnetic hyperthermia and photodynamic therapy. We also study their interactions with biological membranes to          develop safe and targeted therapeutic solutions.

In parallel, we develop hybrid photoactive materials for the degradation of pharmaceutical contaminants, as well as biopolymer-based materials for medical and industrial applications, including wound dressings and      environmentally friendly packaging materials. Another important area of our research is biocatalysis and        enzyme immobilization, supporting the development of innovative technologies for medicinal chemistry and drug development.

Our goal is to create innovative materials that address the real challenges of modern medicine while             contributing to sustainable development. Through interdisciplinary research, we strive to bridge fundamental chemistry with practical biomedical and pharmaceutical applications.
