Nanostructured hydrogel matrices

 

   Hydrogel materials have great promises in tissue engineering and especially in regenerative medicine. They are intensively studied as potential scaffolds promoting tissue growth and healing. Our research consist in developing hydrogel based scaffolds able to orient cellular growth in order to obtain complex 3 dimensional tissue architectures.

Bio-inspired polymers for lubrication and bioadhesion

 

   We are currently developing structured polymers to study their possible use as replacement materials in chronic diseases such as osteoarthritis or multiple sclerosis. Our approach consists in characterizing at the nanoscale the interaction of such polymers with biological interfaces to optimize their properties. We are currently developping biolubricating polymers to treat osteoarthritis as well as bio-adhesive polymers to treat multiple sclerosis as well as spinal cord injuries.

Nanostructures and drug delivery

 

   This research program aims to develop new types of drug delivery systems able to transport multiple drugs in separate compartments and to release them independently in a controllable way. Such systems are extremely promising to tackle multidrug resistance problems during cancer treatments.
