Current researches
I am working under the supervision of Dr. Damien Mertz. The aim of my PhD project (CORELMAG) is to design a smart scaffold for tissue engineering by integrating hybrid nanoparticles, iron oxide/silica, into electropsun fibers. The NPs will then be loaded with proteins of interest, which will be released by magnetic hyperthermia.
An important part of the project focus on the modification of NPs surface and the study of the loading and release of several model proteins.
