Her research focus on the application of synthetic membranes to bioengineering fields, entailing membrane processing (membrane crossflow filtration and membrane chromatography), modification of the surface of membranes (for biocompatibility and selective adsorption capacity), and membrane bioreactors. Recent research projects address the development of membrane adsorbers and membrane chromatography for the purification of protein and plasmid biopharmaceuticals and the characterization of nanoparticles designed for delivery of plasmids.
