Laboratorio de Bioproductos Farmacéuticos y Cosméticos/Laboratory of Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Bioproducts
The research group focuses on designing, developing, and discovering bioactive compounds that are
potential drug candidates. Therefore, our interests range from the design of new bioactive
compounds to developing new drug delivery systems.
