Research interests
In medicine, microbubbles in conjunction with ultrasounds have a great and challenging potential for treating cancer and neurodegenerative diseases (for instance, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). The characterization of microbubbles transport in the blood stream represents a crucial effort to aid extravasation and sonoporation.The main aim of my research project is the experimental investigation of biphasic flow in synthetic blood vessel models.
