Interfaces between Materials and Biological Matter
Our interdisciplinary group is focused on the interfaces between materials/biomolecules and cells, where complex physico-chemical and biological phenomena take place. Research applications range from biosensors and drug delivery to biomaterials and tissue engineering. At the interface between material science, biochemistry and cellular biology, our research projects are organized in three main themes :
The paper "Visible light-induced insulin aggregation on surfaces via photoexcitation of bound thioflavin T" has been published in Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology B: Biology
The paper "Tunable Structural and Mechanical Properties of Cellulose Nanofiber Substrates in Aqueous Conditions for Stem Cell Culture" has been published in Macromolecules
The paper "The effect of hydration on the material and mechanical properties of cellulose nanocrystal-alginate composites" has been published in Carbohydrate Polymers
The paper "Synthesis and characterization of tin dioxide thick film modified by APTES in vapor and liquid phases" has been published in Journal of Materials Science
The paper "Matchout deuterium labelling of proteins for small-angle neutron scattering studies using prokaryotic and eukaryotic expression systems and high cell-density cultures" has been published in Eur Biophys Journal
The paper "Beyond mice: Emerging and transdisciplinary models for the study of early-onset myopathies" has been published in Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology
The paper "Biomaterial-enabled delivery of SDF-1α at the ventral side of breast cancer cells reveals a crosstalk between cell receptors to promote the invasive phenotype" has been published in Biomaterials
