Bionanocomposites – Integrating Biological Processes for Bioinspired Nanotechnologies

CAROLE AIME is a CNRS researcher working in Thibaud Coradin's group in the Laboratoire de Chimie de la Matiere Condensee de Paris. After she received a Ph.D. working on self-assembling amphiphilic systems in Reiko Oda's group in Bordeaux University-France, she joined Pr. Nobuo Kimizuka's group in Kyushu University-Japan, where she designed functional coordination nanoparticles from nucleotides and lanthanide ions. She is now developing bio-inspired systems made up of inorganic nanoparticles and biopolymers. THIBAUD CORADIN has been Directeur de Recherche at the CNRS since 2007. He is currently leading the Materials and Biology group in the Laboratoire de Chimie de la Matiere Condensee de Paris (UPMC-Paris 06). His research topics include biomineralization, bionanocomposites, biomaterials, bioencapsulation and green materials chemistry. He has co-authored over 170 publications and 17 book chapters and he is a member of the Advisory Editorial Board of Scientific Reports, Current Medicinal Chemistry and Silicon.
