Nanostructures and biomolecules: biomedicine and nanotoxicity
Due to their size, nanoparticles interact with the elementary objects of the living, from cells to biological molecules. This can be used in medicine to target treatments, but can also have undesirable effects at high exposure levels.
IRAMIS teams are working along both of these pathways of major societal importance, mainly on :
- Ecotoxicity and nanoparticles (NIMBE/LIONS and /LEDNA teams)
- Bio-inspired materials
- Nano-medicine
