Science isn’t humanist until it is shared. A scientific revolution is coming and MyScienceWork is a part of it. An article published in open access is cited 30 times more, on average, than one published in a traditional journal. The MyScienceWork project combines the relevance of both professional social networks and of open access. Founded in 2010, we have gathered a community of over 500,000 people across the world. And this is just the beginning! ...

Pp IX Silica Nanoparticles Demonstrate Differential Interactions with In Vitro Tumor Cell Lines and In Vivo Mouse Models...
...Published in Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology B Biology
Protoporphyrin IX (Pp IX) silica nanoparticles, developed for effective use in photodynamic therapy (PDT), were explored in in vitro and in vivo models with the ambition to improve knowledge on the role of biological factors in the photodamage. Pp IX silica nanoparticles are found efficient at temperature with extreme metabolic downregulation, whic...

DIGITAL PLATFORMS FOR THE DISSEMINATION OF RESEARCH AGGREGATING MULTIPLE SOURCES TO PRE-‐POPULATE NEW REPOSITORIES
Published in J. of Advances in Biology; 7(1), 1189-1206. in Jun 09, 2015
We present the process to prepopulate a new repository by discussing this in the context of MyScienceWork’s POLARIS platforms. We introduce the aggregation service that uses an internal database, uploads from users and several external services to centralize and structure metadata. We also introduce the process of assigning confidence rates to bo...

ONCOLOGY NANOMEDICINE: Study of Interactions Between Nanoparticles Activated by External Electromagnetic Energy Sources ...
The understanding of interactions between nanomaterials and biological entities is fundamental to develop nanoproducts in oncology. NBTXR3 (hafnium oxide inert nanoparticle) and protoporphyrin IX (Pp IX) nanocarrier (silica nanoparticle encapsulating Pp IX, the monomer of Photofrin®) are nanoproducts, issued from Nanobiotix platforms, aim to enlar...

CEO & Founder MyScienceWork Since August 2010
MyScienceWork (San Francisco US)
Launched in Paris in 2010 by two French entrepreneurs, MyScienceWork has offices today in Paris, Luxembourg, and San Francisco. The company’s core objective is to provide broad access to research related information for untargeted markets. This is achieved with a suite of resources, including innovative, digital tools, professional social media, and scientific communication services. Today, MyScienceWork offers a library of over 30 million research documents and an international community of more than half a million members. Within this ecosystem, the Polaris platforms for institutions enable research groups to offer a clear, complete picture of their research, increasing their visibility and the impact of their science.
