Research
The passion for science and innovation led our team to carry out research projects in collaboration with the University of Parma, the Cardiocentro Ticino Institute and the Institute for Chemistry and Biotechnology (ZHAW School of Life Sciences). In fact, Sferalp and Micro-Sphere participated in projects in the field of characterization of lactose for inhalation and in the field of synthesis of spongy micro-carriers for cell cultures.
Current research projects
“Production of lactose for inalation by elettro-spray drying” in collaboration with Fluid Air and Micro-Sphere.
Past research projects
- “Development of a Biodegradable Microcarrier for the Cultivation of Human Adipose Stem Cells (hASCs) with a Defined Xeno- and Serum-Free Medium”
- “Human Adipose Stem Cells (hASCs) Grown on Biodegradable Microcarriers in Serum- and Xeno-Free Medium Preserve Their Undifferentiated Status”
- “Effect of Lactose Pseudopolymorphic Transition on the Aerosolization Performance of Drug/Carrier Mixtures”
- “Quantitative determination of micronization-induced changes in the solid state of lactose”
