Magnetic nanoassemblies, biomaterials and nanomedicine

Research projects

Our projects aim to develop magnetically responsive nanoassemblies for biomedical applications, with a particular focus on magnetic hyperthermia, controlled drug delivery, multimodal therapy and liver diseases.

Current and recent funded projects

SEMAPHORE

Funding: EUR LUMOMAT

Period: 2024–2027

Development of magnetic and photoactive nanoassemblies for combined phototherapy. This project explores the association of magnetic nanoparticles with photosensitizers to design multimodal therapeutic platforms.

NAMASTHEP

Funding: Cancéropôle Grand Ouest, Emergence Inter-réseaux

Period: 2024–2025

Development of magnetic nanomedicine strategies for liver cancer, with a focus on magnetic nanoassemblies and their interactions with hepatic cells.

NanoCURQMAG

Funding: Ouest Valorisation, pre-maturation program

Period: 2023–2024

Valorisation of curcumin-based magnetic nanoassemblies prepared by flash nanoprecipitation. The project supports the development of compact multicore nanoassemblies combining magnetic nanoparticles, hydrophobic active molecules and stabilizing polymers.

NanoSuperSpin3D

Funding: CNRS EMERGENCE@INC2022

Period: 2022–2023

Study of magnetic coupling in three-dimensional nanoparticle assemblies, with the aim of understanding how collective magnetic behavior can enhance magnetic fluid hyperthermia.

SUPERFERATITE

Funding: Région Pays de la Loire, Etoiles Montantes

Period: 2019–2023

Development of superferrimagnetic nanoassemblies based on iron oxide nanostructures for biomedical applications, including immune-related liver diseases.

PHC Barrande / PHC Proteus

Funding: Campus France

Periods: 2021–2022, 2023–2024, 2025–2026

International collaborations focused on magnetic nanocarriers, polymer-stabilized nanoassemblies and the development of multifunctional nanoplatforms for biomedical applications.
