Research themes/centers of interest

  • Design and physicochemical study of nano-organized assemblies based on particles of synthetic or natural polymers, lipids, and biological molecules.Production of liposomes. Associated biomedical applications.
  • Design of systems with a controlled release of active products based on natural polymer hydrogels and vesicular-type assemblies.
  • Physicochemical characterization of polymers in solution and in suspension (colloids), structural and molar mass analysis of macromolecules by mass spectrometry (in particular MALDI-TOF) and steric exclusion chromatography.
