Seminario
Biomolecules are promising candidates for tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and a wide range of biomedical applications. An ideal biomaterial should be biocompatible, biodegradable, and easily processable into various scaffold formats, preferably under conditions that closely mimic the physiological environment. Furthermore, the rational design and engineering of molecular assemblies through the judicious exploitation of noncovalent interactions to construct tailored molecular and nanoarchitectures using a reductionist approach plays a significant role in advancing biomedical science. In the first part, I will present silk-derived biomaterials for controlled and pancreas-mimicking insulin delivery, wound healing under diabetic conditions, and applications in skeletal muscle and neuronal tissue engineering. In the second part, I will briefly introduce a novel research theme and umbrella concept, ‘molecular architectonics’, developed in our laboratory to design and construct molecular and nanoarchitectures with applications ranging from biosensing to drug delivery.

International Conference
Chemistry for the Future (CFF) is a yearly international conference, which has reached its 10th edition, on the frontiers of Chemical Research. The idea of CFF is to convey every year several outstanding scientists from different sectors of chemistry. Every edition of CFF is organized by the 2nd year PhD students of the Doctoral School in Chemistry and Materials Science (DSCM) of the University of Pisa.

International Conference
You are warmly invited to join us at the end of August 2026 in the lovely town of Pisa (Italy) to take part in the 7th International Symposium on Aggregation-Induced Emission (AIE7) and celebrate the 25th anniversary of the AIE conceptualization. Please note that the symposium location has been relocated from what was originally planned.
