Description
Lecture by Christian Serre, highly cited scientist and Chemistry Research Director at Ecole Normale Supérieure de Paris and ESPCI.
ABOUT THIS LECTURE
Within the past few decades, many new materials (liposomes, polymers, silica, etc.) have been considered to address the challenges of controlled delivery of challenging (anticancer, antiretroviral, etc.) drugs that suffer from a poor bioavailability once administered in the body (poorly soluble or unstable drugs). Among them, metal-organic frameworks are crystalline micro or mesoporous solids highly suitable drug carriers due to their suitable environment to host a wide range of drugs within their large ordered pores as well as their biocompatible and biodegradable character. In this talk, Christian Serre will describe how these new drug carriers are constructed, synthesized and report their main drug delivery features, including their use in recent in vitro or in vivo biomedical applications. We will finally highlight their main perspectives and challenges in this field.
The Academic Lectures are a series of lectures featuring a range of in-Kingdom and international entrepreneurs, academics and distinguished guest speakers.

Christian Serre
Christian Serre got his Ph.D. in inorganic chemistry at the University of Versailles in 1999 and did a Post-doc fellowship in Princeton. He became a CNRS researcher in 2001 at Institut Lavoisier de Versailles in France (ILV) and then research director in 2008. In 2016, he created at Ecole Normale Supérieure de Paris and ESPCI - within the frame of the Paris Science Letters (PSL) University - a new laboratory entirely dedicated to porous solids and their applications. Christian is a highly cited scientist since 2010 with more than 330 publications (h factor > 90) and 20 patents. He has received numerous awards, such as the CNRS Bronze medal and the Berthelot Medal and Prix Fondé de l’état from the French Academy of Sciences.
