Group leader
Royal Institute of Technology
I hold a PhD from the University of Montpellier, where I worked with Prof Catherine Picart on layer-by-layer assembly of biopolymer for the delivery of growth factors. I started working with mucin biopolymers during a postdoctoral appointment at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Cambridge, USA) under the guidance of Prof Katharina Ribbeck. After a short stay at the Ingénierie des Matériaux Polymères lab (Villeurbanne, France) where I worked on chitosan, I started a research group in the division of glycoscience in the school of biotechnology at the Royal Institute of Technology, KTH (Stockholm, Sweden).
I am passionate about science, technology, and their societal impact. I believe that public research should be a public good and that researchers have a duty to reach out to all members of society and to involve them when possible. I also follow closely the recent changes to the research and innovation ecosystem, in particular with the advent of Open Science and Digital Science. I am running a blog on digital tools for researchers and have advised the European commission on these matters.
I also deeply value my role as an educator when training postdocs, PhD students and Master students that will shape the future of our research and innovation ecosystems.
