ELEC-TRICK ANR project led by Sébastien Gouin
The project ELEC-TRICK is one of the five projects labelled ANR in 2025 and led by CEISAM laboratory. With ELEC-TRICK, Sebastien Gouin aims to develop an electrochemical method for grafting complex sugars onto proteins, viral vectors, and cells used in anticancer and gene therapy. Complex carbohydrates are relevant ligands for enhancing the pharmacological properties of...
SwitDream ANR project led by Vincent Coeffard
The project SwitDream is one of the five projects labelled ANR in 2025 and led by CEISAM laboratory. With SwitDream, Vincent Coeffard aims to design photosensitizers from the rotaxane family for applications in antibacterial photodynamic therapy. The central challenge of the project is to control the heavy atom effect, which would enable selective activation of...
Chemistry and vectorology: a happy marriage!
On the occasion of O’Tablo (a scientific event by Nantes Université), researchers from the CEISAM and TaRGeT laboratories illustrated how chemistry can enhance AAV viral vectors used in gene therapy. By finely modifying their surface with targeting molecules, it becomes possible to more precisely address specific tissues such as the retina or the brain. These...
