Ewen Bodio Awarded the Junior Innovation Chair [2024-2029] by the Institut Universitaire de France (IUF)
His research focuses on the design of photoactive molecules and their applications in medical imaging, therapy, and sustainable development through photocatalysis. Now joining the IUF and CEISAM, he will further his work on developing near-infrared (NIR) molecular probes. These cutting-edge probes render tumors fluorescent, significantly enhancing surgical precision, reducing post-operative side effects, and lowering cancer recurrence rates. Supported by ANR-funded projects and pre-maturation initiatives from SATT Linksium (Grenoble) and SATT Sayens (Dijon), this research is set to lead to the launch of the FluoNIR startup in the coming months.
