Engineering of NAnomaterials, BIOmolecules and Surfaces (NABIOS)

NaBioS, “Engineering of Nanomaterials, Biomolecules, and Surfaces,” is an interdisciplinary team combining materials science, chemistry, and biology. Our research aims to understand molecular interactions at material interfaces, exploit the self-assembly of biological and synthetic materials to understand biological systems, and develop sustainable, low-environmental-impact bio-inspired devices.

The Nabios team works on four research axes:

Compatibilité des formulations et des matériaux dans le domaine médical

Elisa test We are working on the interactions between biological molecules (therapeutic proteins, nucleic acids) and medical device materials. Protein conformation, adsorption, and competition at interfaces are studied, and new in situ quantification techniques are being developed.

Colles inspirées de la nature

Some natural adhesives produced by animals perform better than those manufactured by humans. Their adhesive function is based on the self-assembly of proteins and is influenced by the surface properties of the materials to which they adhere. Our goal is to design bio-inspired adhesive proteins in order to study their structure-function relationships and understand how their surface-dependent self-assembly generates their adhesive properties.

Nanostructured materials for biology and the environment

We design eco-efficient soft-chemistry synthesis routes in liquid solution, while investigating and optimizing the underlying reaction mechanisms. The nanomaterials we create are then integrated into smart, multifunctional devices through sustainable processes, paving the way for breakthrough applications in biology (antibacterial, antifouling), technology (sensors, neuromorphic systems), and the environment, particularly for water and CO₂ management.
