Research interests:

The development of multifunctional nanoscale platforms for the targeted delivery of therapeutic agents using various nanotechnology approaches has received significant attention in the field of cancer therapy. In this regard, the use of organic and inorganic nanoplatforms has already demonstrated promising results in the delivery of various therapeutic agents. At the same time, the development and search for new highly effective therapeutic compounds for targeted such therapy continues. Semi- photonic systems provide targeted delivery of these compounds in nanoscale carriers to the focus of interest without harming healthy organs and tissues of the body. To ensure maximum results, nanocapsules are additionally modified and their parameters are accurately characterized (size, charge, porosity, etc.). Combined radionuclide therapy has a number of advantages and insufficient knowledge of the effectiveness of therapeutic use for the treatment of malignant tumors. Modification and optimization of the synthesis of nanocapsules with therapeutic radionuclides, combined use with other therapies, has great potential to solve many health problems.
