The vocation of the Nanotechnology for Life Science research group is to provide quality services for Life Science industrial partners. Thus, we offer practical solutions for developing tailor-made polymer-based systems applicable to large scale production. We specialize in the synthesis and characterization of biocompatible polymers or colloids, directly exploitable in various area of Human Life Science, such as:
Delivery in the Human body: Delivery of drugs or genes in the
Human body is one of our major area of research. Therefore, we propose a broad
collection of polymer-based systems readily usable for spray delivery, oral
delivery, transdermal delivery or injection. Depending on the applications, our
carriers can be carefully engineered for:
- Improving their circulation time in the bloodstream
- Crossing cellular barriers
- Targeting specific organs
- Being easily cleared out of the body
Diagnostics: We can offer new keys for developing innovative
diagnostics systems. The latter could be new contrast agents for medical imaging
but also specific polymers or bioconjugates for diagnostics kits or biochips.
Medical devices: We also have the capacity to synthesize,
on request, well-defined biocompatible polymers usable as building material in
various medical implants such as skin-patches, catheters, prosthesis or contact
lenses.
