Areas of Expertise

Dr. Élodie Boisselier's laboratory has developed several gold nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems to optimize medication in ophthalmology. This patented nanotechnology could improve several medications, particularly those requiring frequent administration. The laboratory is also equipped to study the membrane binding of various proteins, peptides, and molecules involved in different mechanisms essential to cell survival.
