our
Laboratory

The laboratory is organized in two facilities:

A) dedicated to the formulation of nanomedicines using innovative technology towards precision medicine for the oral and topical administration of medicines

B) dedicated to preparing and quality controlling on cosmetic preparations that contain nanovectors and natural molecules.

Each facility includes an area dedicated to compounds and products preparation and another area dedicated to their validation through quality control.

Area manager: Miriam Colombo
