Lénaïc LARTIGUE
Assistant Professor
Materials Chemistry
University of Nantes
France
Biography
He received his PhD in 2010 entitled “Synthesis, characterization, functionalization and biomedical applications of iron-based NPs†under the supervision of Dr. Y. Guari and Pr. D. Gatteschi. Then, he completed two years of post-doctoral research in the group of Dr. F. Gazeau where he studied the physical, magneto-thermal properties and the biotransformation phenomenon of iron oxide NPs. In 2012 he joined the team of Dr. D. Alloyeau and synthesized, characterized and studied the biodegradation of iron oxide@gold nano-assemblies. Since September 2013, he was appointed Assistant Professor in the team of Pr. E. Ishow. He has co-authored 29 scientific articles on peer reviewed international journals of chemistry and physics (h-index ISI WEB of SCIENCE = 14) and he is currently involved in five research projects in the nanomedicine field including one as coordinator.
Research Interest
His present main interest concerns size-controlled functionalized magnetic NPs or gold nanoshell and their incorporation in supramolecular fluorescent nano-assemblies. This multimodal nano-assemblies was tested as (i) mediator for magnetic hyperthermia and photothermial; (ii) contrast agent for fluorescent imaging, MRI and photoacoustic; (iii) real-time monitoring and on-demand drug delivery system.
