About

David Gintsburg is a PhD student whose research focuses on the design of mucoadhesive oligomers and polymers to prolong gastrointestinal residence time, thereby extending the absorption window while maintaining biodegradability.

In addition, he is investigating supramolecular systems, such as polyrotaxanes, with the aim of improving cellular uptake and reducing toxicity.
