Marina Placci

Marina Placci is a Researcher at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC), affiliated with the Nanoprobes and Nanoswitches research group. Her work focuses on advancing targeted drug delivery systems, particularly through nanocarrier development and antibody targeting strategies.

• Key Research Themes: Nanotechnology, ICAM-1-targeted therapies, lysosomal storage disorder treatments, and blood-brain barrier transport mechanisms.

The analysis of her recent publications reveals a trend toward isoform-specific targeting and nanocarrier optimization for preclinical applications, with collaborations in projects like Fibrosens for muscular dystrophy sensor development. Her work bridges fundamental biological inquiries (e.g., ICAM-1 isoform dynamics) with clinical translation.
