Dosimeters for small-field radiation therapy Principal investigators: C. Fauquet, D. Tonneau PostDoc S. Debnath We designed and fabricated smart X-Rays sensors for applications in radiation therapy (collaboration with Institute Paoli Calmettes, Marseille, France). The dosimeter is based on inorganic scintillators grafted at the extremity of an optical fibre (Fig.1). The visible light emitted by the

Our projects aim at both fundamental studies of Localized Nucleation, Microfluidic Crystallization and more applied studies to answer questions of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Interest. PROJECTS Nucleation in confined environments Crystallization and Drug Design Crystallization of Model Systems Probing Liquid / Liquid Interfaces Biomimetic Microparticles Microfluidic Simulation Characterization of Membrane Proteins Flow in Nanopipettes* From nanoelectrolysis

Inorganic 2D The work involves depositing a thin material (of the order of a monolayer) on a monocrystal of a noble metal such as, Ag, Au, Ni, Pt. Since the discovery of Graphene, other materials likely to modify their electrical properties due to their 2D periodic structures are studied in our group. Figure 1 shows

RNA-based therapeutics, including antisense oligonucleotides, will revolutionize the standard of care for many diseases, including cancer and genetic disorders, and will open new avenues towards improved personalized medicine. The “RNAnoTher” laboratory work, directed by Dr. Palma Rocchi, focus on developing mRNA-based drugs in the context of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Advanced prostate cancer (PC) develop

The service includes the management of missions “Engineering Service and Mechanics” as well as “Infrastructure and Buildings”

Placed under the responsibility of a engineer (D. Chaudanson) and an assistant-engineer (A.Altié), the service includes: For material characterization, 3 electron microscopes A high-resolution scanning electron microscope Jeol JSM-7900F. This microscope is specialized in low accelerating voltages studies and is coupled with a chemical microanalysis system using X-ray spectrometry (BRUKER Esprit).  A high-resolution transmission electron

The mission of the Scanning Probe Microscopy Service is to image and characterize materials and nanostructures at the nanoscale. Scanning Probe microscopy responds to the growing need of the various research axes of the CINaM to add a 3-dimensional observation tool. It is an important service of the CINaM for all research related to surface

Nonlinear mechanics of biopolymer networks. Principal investigator: P. Ronceray PhD Student: Andonis Gerardos, Arthur Coët Postdoc: Yuri Zhang Networks of stiff, entangled biopolymers play a central role in the mechanical properties of biological matter, from the cell cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix. Such networks contribute to the mechanical integrity of living matter, and permit force

The research activity of the team focuses on the multi-scale study of the morphology, structure and reactivity of nanostructured solids, using analytical methods combining imaging and spectroscopies at atomic and molecular scales. The interdisciplinary nature of the team’s activity relies on the multiple skills of its members, researchers or teaching-researchers in physics, physical chemistry, geology

List of activities of the physico-chemistry service: Design and implement procedures and protocols to use the devices available in the service for research teams working at CINaM. Order and manage stocks of common chemical and consumables. Train users on the specific equipment accessible to all (UV-visible spectroscopy, Milli-Q water dispenser, centrifuge, …). Plan the use
