Presentation

This theme aims to develop knowledge, methods and tools for the bioseparation processes applied to the biorefinery of agro-ressources, for the study of the structure-activity relation of biomolecules, and for the development of innovating molecules used in the photodynamic therapy (PDT).

More specifically, the aims are notably:

(i) To predict the performances of separation processes applied to the separation of complex biomolecules mixtures from agro-ressources and/or of biotransformation;
(ii) To synthesise by enzymatic or microbial way new molecular architectures with improved activities and /or modified specificities thanks to reverse engineering strategy based on the biomolecule structure/activity relation;
(iii) And finally to elaborate new molecules or nanoparticules, photo-activable by the light, enabling both the detection of the cancerous cells by MRI and their treatment by PDT.
