Biography

Catalina-Anisoara Peptu is an Associate Professor at the “Gheorghe Asachi” Technical University of Iasi, Romania, Department of Natural and Synthetic Polymers.  My research interest domains are polymeric biomaterials, controlled release systems in the form of micro and nanoparticles and hydrogels, non-polymeric nanoparticles liposomes–controlled release systems, electrospun fibers, and preparing, respectively characterization of different modified polymers. Moreover, during my last years, my attention was directed toward developing suitable preparation techniques for obtaining specially designed micro and nanoparticles and hydrogels based on natural and/or synthetic polymers. One key direction for my career was the preparation of nontoxic micro/nanoparticles and hydrogels by a two-step crosslinking technique in reverse emulsion systems. This double crosslinking method was developed for the first time for nanoparticles-based chitosan with/without other polymers. The experience gained in the covalently crosslinked films was useful for the future research direction namely - the entrapment of liposomes in polymer hydrogels, and the development of a new formulation for both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drug release.
