3D/4D Printing of Bioadhesive Pharmaceutical Systems

Marcos Luciano Bruschi is an Associate Professor in the Department of Pharmacy at the State University of Maringa (UEM), Parana, Brazil. Dr. Bruschi joined the university in 1998 as Assistant Professor of Pharmaceutics and became Associate Professor in 2014. He was awarded the degree of Doctor in Pharmaceutical Sciences from School of Pharmacy, University of Sao Paulo (USP), with a period as research fellow at Queen's University of Belfast (QUB), Northern Ireland, UK. In 2014, he returned to QUB to complete a period of post-doctoral studies in School of Pharmacy. His current research focuses on the development of drug delivery systems using different strategies to modify and control the drug delivery, including nanotechnology and the development of advanced thermoresponsive bioadhesive platforms, micro/nanostructured particles, 3D printing, natural products, and photodynamic therapy. He is the coordinator of the Laboratory of Research and Development of Drug Delivery Systems (LABSLiF) at the State University of Maringa.
