Our Team
The Resmini Research Group has greatly benefited from the enthusiastic passion and amazing work of a great number of researchers, coming from all over Europe and beyond, that have contributed to significant discoveries in all the different areas, but have also created an impressive Network of friendships and support. The amazing diversity of all these researchers is what has made all these achievements possible. Here below you can find the profiles of current members of the group, followed by a list of ‘group alumni’.
Prof Marina Resmini, FRSC
Principal Investigator
Marina Resmini is Professor of Materials Chemistry in the Chemistry Department at Queen Mary University of London. Her research interests are focused on the area of functional nanomaterials with applications at the interface between physical and bio/medical sciences, particularly as sensors and drug delivery systems. She has a strong track record of assembling successful multidisciplinary consortia with academic teams both in the UK and Europe as well as with industrial partners. She has a distinguished publication record in the area of nanomaterials, more recently focusing on imprinted polymers, nanogels and understanding the relationship between structure and functional properties. She is passionate about equality and positive actions that can drive changes towards a more diverse and inclusive environment in the Chemical Sciences. In 2011 she was elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and since 2019 she has been the Chair of the RSC Inclusion and Diversity committee and also a member of the RSC’s Board of Trustees.
