The work of the axis is focused on two main themes:
synthesis of new therapeutic molecules, primarily for the the treatment of:
cancer: biological enzyme and receptor inhibitors, chelates for imagery and therapy and peptidomimetics
pain: rational approach (identified therapeutic target) and traditional approach (plant based molecules)
development of elaboration and characterization processes of biomaterials (inorganics or hybrids polymers). Particular attention is paid to materials/biological systems interfaces, for diagnosis and/or therapeutic applications (functionalized nanoparticles, Lamellar Double Hydroxydes/Enzyme assembly, bioceramics)
