	                			Our efforts are devoted to the translation of noble metal nanomaterials to the clinical practice by addressing the issue of metal persistence, in order to promote innovative and non-invasive treatments for neoplasms and infectious diseases. Our main interests are related to photothermal conversion, drug delivery, photoacoustic/ultrasound imaging. In agreement with the 3R concept, we also continuously develop new 3D cancer models to test conventional and innovative treatments.
