TUBITAK - DAAD

Welcome to FloFIB webpage.

This project is funded by bilateral collaboration of TUBITAK-DAAD, namely “3D-nanofibrous matrices for accelerating wound healing: harnessing Mediterranean flora for the next generation biomaterials”.

This project aims to produce three-dimensional nanofibers by integrating technology with medicinally important plants native to the Taurus Mountains in the Mediterranean region. The resulting nanofibers will be applied in wound healing applications.

Research reviews show that many plants such as Aloe vera, Calendula officinalis, Centella asiatica, Curcuma longa, and Achillea millefolium are frequently used in herbal medicine for wound healing due to their antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and tissue-regeneration properties.
