Giuseppe Cirillo is Professor of Pharmaceutical Technology at the Department of Pharmacy, Health and Nutritional Sciences, University of Calabria, Italy. His research focuses on the design, synthesis, characterization, and application of multifunctional polymeric and hybrid materials for drug delivery and biomedical applications. His work is particularly devoted to hybrid platforms combining organic polymers with carbon- and gold-based nanomaterials to obtain innovative materials with enhanced properties. The ultimate goal of his research is to develop multifunctional, stimuli-responsive systems capable of selectively delivering bioactive molecules to diseased tissues through active targeting strategies. He serves as Editor-in-Chief of the Materials Chemistry Section of the MDPI journal Molecules.
