Margarita Popova is a professor at the Institute of Organic Chemistry with Centre of Phytochemistry – Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. Over the last 5 years her research group has participated in the fulfillment of 10 projects of the National Science Fund, a number of bilateral collaborations with Hungary, Italy, Spain, Slovenia and Germany. Prof. Popova is an author of 70 papers, more than 700 citations and her h index is 16 (Scopus). Over the last couple of years her efforts have been aimed at the development of a new procedure for synthesis of mesoporous composites with application as drug carriers.

Abstract

The application of mesoporous silica materials as carriers in the drug delivery systems is a promising and new approach in nanomedicine. Mesoporous silicates are characterized by narrow distribution of pores with a controlled... [ view full abstract ]
