Nanostructures for Novel Therapy

Denisa Ficai is Associate Professor of Inorganic Chemistry, Faculty of Applied Chemistry and Materials Sciences at the University Politehnica, Bucharest. Her research interests are currently focused on nanomaterials (especially ferrites, oxides, phosphates) and composite materials (especially hybrid composite materials comprising 0D, 1D and 2D reinforcing agents) most of these materials being designed for medical and health industrial applications. She has published over 50 papers in international scientific journals that have been cited more than 200 times. She has presented at more than 40 conferences and holds 6 patents. She is a co-author of three books on chemistry and also authored four book chapters. Dr. Grumezescu is Assistant Professor at the Department of Science and Engineering of Oxide Materials and Nanomaterials, in the Faculty of Applied Chemistry and Materials Science, with a second affiliation to the Faculty of Medical Engineering, at the Politehnica University of Bucharest in Romania. He is an experienced and oft-published researcher and editor in the field of nano and biomaterials, and he is the Editor-in-Chief of three journals: Biointerface Research in Applied Chemistry, Letters and Applied NanoBioScience, and Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering Bulletin. He also serves as editor or guest editor for several notable journals. Dr. Grumezescu has published 150 peer-reviewed papers, 20 book chapters, 6 co-authored books and 11 edited books.
