Project description
Antimicrobial surfaces reduce microbial contamination. We use them in healthcare environments. But we need to tailor them according to the clinical application. We have to tune their properties. This provides the best anti-infective performance. It provides safe biocompatibility. It also ensures appropriate tissue interactions.
I am developing novel antimicrobial surfaces. I am basing them on nanoscale-microscale surface architecture. This can provide sustainable performance during service life.
