Scientific expertise |
Frédérique Cunin is director of research of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) in Montpellier, France. Her research focuses on the elaboration of biocompatible porous silicon nanostructures for application in nanomedicine. This includes targeted anti-cancer therapies, gene and cell-based therapies and tissue engineering. Her activity particularly focuses on the material synthesis methods, the control of the morphology and texture of the material, and the development of new surface chemical treatments for biofunctionalization. Her research is also on the comprehension and exploitation of the electronic and optical properties of nanostructured silicon. |
