  Abstract: Soft matter nanotechnology refers to the integration of nan
 osciences into the design of soft matter systems\, materials that are 
 easily deformable under external stimuli such as thermal\, mechanical\
 , or electromagnetic forces. Soft Matter includes polymers\, hydrogels
 \, colloids\, foams\, liquid crystals\, and various forms of biologica
 l matter. The inherent flexibility and responsiveness of these materia
 ls make them highly suitable for advanced biomedical and biotechnologi
 cal applications. Our research group is dedicated to investigating nan
 oscale phenomena within soft materials\, with a particular emphasis on
  developing functional systems for biomedical use. A core element of o
 ur approach is to bring physico-chemical understanding of the material
 s we design and study. In this presentation\, we will explore several 
 key aspects of our work: Polyelectrolyte complexes: We study the compl
 exation behavior of polyelectrolytes with therapeutic molecules\, incl
 uding drugs and nucleic acids\, aiming to optimize their stability\, d
 elivery efficiency\, and bioavailability. A key aspect of this work is
  the study of the formation of supramolecular assemblies of doxorubici
 n and cyanidin when complexed with polyanions. Cyclodextrin-Based Drug
  Carriers: We are developing advanced drug delivery systems based on c
 yclodextrins\, exploiting their ability to encapsulate both hydrophili
 c and hydrophobic drugs. Smart Hydrogels: Our work on stimuli-responsi
 ve (or smart) hydrogels focuses on how their structure and behavior ca
 n be tuned in response to environmental changes\, pH
