Great news: I received ERC Advanced grant #ERCAdG @erc.europa.eu CaptuRel! It aims at intelligent nanomaterials undergoing bioinspired cycle of capture and photorelease of bioactive molecules for sensing and controlling (bio)chemical gradients. Thanks to my Team, @cnrs.fr and @unistra.fr!

Bürgenstock Conference by @swisschemistry.bsky.social was a truly amazing meeting with brilliant lectures and leading researchers in chemistry: @klanglab.bsky.social, JL Mascarenas, R Buller, @olallalab.bsky.social, D Hilvert, etc. It was an honor to present our work. A big thank to the organizers!

New preprint: we introduce peptide-functionalized fluorescent polymeric nanoparticles with stealth properties due to rather short polysarcosine peptides for targeting proteins on cell surface. Congrats to co-authors! @cnrs.fr @unistra.fr @agencerecherche.bsky.social

The cover (frontispiece) for our recent article on artificial receptor for neurotransmitter dopamine is finally out in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social. Thanks to Jurga Valanciunaite for the artwork!
Congratulations and thanks to the co-authors! @unistra.fr @cnrs.fr @agencerecherche.bsky.social

A deep dive into magic of biomembrane organization thanks to brilliant talk by @leventallab.bsky.social at PSL Chemical Biology meeting in Paris, @institutcurie.bsky.social, @cnrs.fr

It is my first Bluesky post: I am thrilled that our work on MemGraft probes for “permanent” fluorescent labelling of plasma membranes is finally out in JACS Au! We established a concept of lipid-directed covalent labeling of plasma membranes. Open access article:
