Bouzid Menaa

Dr. Bouzid Menaa is Research Program Director, Principal Investigator and R&D Consultant in Bio-Nanotechnology at Fluorotronics, Inc. (San Diego, CA, USA).

Biography

His main research interests cover both fundamental and applied aspects on the design and fabrication of functional nanostructured materials with controlled nanostructures (size, shape, composition, distribution…) with improved physico-chemical properties. The research at the interface of the materials nanochemistry and biotechnology is towards the design of new functional nanomaterials with the understanding, monitoring and control of molecular processes and interactions at biological interfaces for applications in nano-medicine, bio-sensing, food technology, energy/environment, heterogenous catalysis, optics and photonics via the development of challenging and innovating technologies and processes.

Hyaluronic Acid and Derivatives for Tissue Engineering.

Among the protein-based hydrogel-forming polymers, various salts of hyaluronic acid (HA), aka hyaluronan or sodium hyaluronate, are used to prepare tissue-engineering. HA is a natural occurring glycosaminoglycan, a polysaccharide of high molecular weight which displays interesting viscoelastic properties. Among other organisms, HA is omnipresent in... Read More»
