Research lines

The Pharmaceutical Organic Chemistry research group (POC) is an emerging group set up when School of Pharmacy of Albacete was founded in 2010. Our research interest focus on four main objectives:

​

1.- Design of new light emitters controlling their molecular structure, their supramolecularity, and other technological aspects such as the deposition method.

2.- Search for molecules that self-assemble forming micelles that encapsulate structures of interest (drugs, etc.) and that disaggregate releasing them in response to different pathological stimuli (aberrant concentrations of protein, pH, etc.)

3.- Synthesis of organogels in biocompatible lipophilic media as drug delivery carriers.

4.- Study of fluorescent sensors that respond to changes in concentration of various analytes in the medium, either modifying the energy of their orbital frontiers or their form of aggregation.
