I presented a poster with snapshot talk at the NanoBioTech-Montreux Conference 2025 in Montreux, Switzerland (October 19–22, 2025), showcasing our work on the thrombolytic potential of hydrodynamic cavitation-on-a-chip technology, which I contributed during my time as PostDoc in Microfluidics and Microthermal Systems Laboratory in Sabancı University. About the Presentation This poster with snapshot talk explored…

Topical eye delivery is attractive because it’s simple and patient-friendly—yet most of a drop never reaches the target tissue. I keep asking a basic question: can polymersomes, with their thicker, tunable membranes, meaningfully change that equation without injections? What polymersomes are (in plain terms) Polymersomes are vesicles made from amphiphilic block copolymers: a watery core…

I presented a poster at the CRS Ch/De/At Local Chapter Meeting 2025 in Bern, Switzerland (February 13–14, 2025), on the design and optimization of hyaluronan-based blend polymersomes for topical ocular drug delivery. About the Presentation This poster detailed our work on designing and optimizing hyaluronan-based blend polymersomes — self-assembled vesicular nanocarriers — for topical ocular…

When it comes to groundbreaking advancements in healthcare, the intersection of nanotechnology and biomaterials has unlocked unprecedented possibilities. Among these innovations, polymersomes—tiny vesicles created from self-assembling amphiphilic polymers—are emerging as powerful tools for targeted drug delivery. In this post, we’ll explore how polymersomes, specifically those crafted from hyaluronan-sphingosine (HA-Sph), are poised to revolutionize the treatment…
