CEO & Founder MyScienceWork
I trained as an engineer in biotechnology at the Technological University of Compiègne (UTC). I then received my doctorate in nanotechnology for cancer therapy from the University Pierre and Marie Curie (UPMC), Paris. I have over 3 years’ professional experience in a nanomedicine start-up, which confirmed my desire to become an entrepreneur.

...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
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 both...

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 enlarg...
