nanomaterials

The main objectives of our research are to describe the mechanisms of action of a wide variety of toxic substances, to search for protective compounds and to reveal their mechanisms of action, to develop new effective methods to modulate the activity of drugs with particular emphasis on drugs used in anticancer therapy and antibiotics.

Adriana Zaleska-Medynska’s research team has been involved in both basic and applied research. Basic research has been mainly focused on preparation and characterization of novel types of nanomaterials, including better understanding of mechanism of formation of nanostructures, as well as, on correlation of their surface properties with some useful features (eg. photocatalytic, antibacterial and antifungal properties).
