Active targeting of tumor cells relies on the use of ligands capable of specifically binding to receptors that are overexpressed on their surface, such as EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor). Among these ligands, monoclonal antibodies and aptamers are promising tools for the targeted delivery of…
Sophie Martin, , head of the OnKO • 3T team, has received a national grant of €60,729 from the JetonsCancer Endowment Fund, an initiative led by Rotary France. This funding, which is entirely dedicated to research, will enable the purchase of a HUMIMIC Chip+ system, a state-of-the-art device for…

Nanoparticles (NPs) play a key role in biological applications, such as bioimaging and biosensing. Their stealth properties—that is, their ability to avoid nonspecific interactions with biological environments—is essential to ensuring their stability and efficacy in vivo. Until now, polyethylene…
Strasbourg, May 21 and 22, 2026 – Our laboratory made a significant impact at the 2026 Illkirch Campus Days (JCI) with exceptional participation and two awards.
The team led by Prof. Yves MELY, with Pankhi Singh and Dipanjan Mukherjee as first authors, has just published a major study in the field of structural biology. Their work reveals how thienoguanosine (thG), a fluorescent isomorphic analog of guanosine, enables the exploration of the structure and…
Neurotransmitters, such as dopamine, are essential biomarkers for diagnosing neurological disorders (Parkinson’s disease, depression, schizophrenia, etc.). However, their detection in biological fluids remains challenging due to their low concentration (on the order of nanomolar) and their structura…
We are pleased to invite you to JCI 2026 Illkirch Campus days on Thursday, May 21, and Friday, May 22, at the Pôle API. JCI 2026 is a day-and-a-half-long scientific conference bringing together researchers from across the campus to learn, exchange ideas, and get creative! You are a young…
