I'm currently CNRS Research Director and head of the group "Nanomedicines for the treatment of severe diseases" at Institut Galien Paris-Saclay (UMR CNRS 8612), at the Faculty of Pharmacy, University Paris-Saclay, Orsay, France.

Our research focuses on the development and evaluation of innovative nanomedicines and new materials, particularly based on polymers or lipids, for a wide range of different biomedical applications, such as drug delivery, targeting of cancer tissues/cells and delivery to the brain or heart. The design of novel nanomedicines to overcome resistance mechanisms is also another important task of our group, as are the design of multifunctional nanoparticulate systems, the assessment of nanoparticle interaction with biological media and the development of 3D cell culture models to better study the fate of nanoparticles.

Our contributions are based on advanced macromolecular synthesis, colloid physical chemistry, bioconjugation and drug delivery, to develop efficient and innovative polymer biomaterials and nanomedicines.
