Project description

The aim of the project is to develop both porous and non-porous cell-interactive polymer membranes for opthalmological applications. Within the project, biodegradable and non-degradable polymer membranes will be compared. Both types of membranes will be coated with cell-interactive biopolymers. The top layer of thematerials developed will be composed of polymer-DNA complexes able to transfect ocular cells.
