Title : Polymeric self-assemblies for photodynamic therapy

Thanks to the easy access to wide families of synthetic biocompatible polymers, polymeric self-assemblies are increasingly assessed in biomedical applications, such as drug delivery or imaging. The presentation will enlighten our expertise in such self-assemblies and their use for photodynamic therapy. Polymers such as poly(ethyleneoxide-b--caprolactone), poly(ethyleneoxide-b-lactide), poly(ethyleneoxide-b-styrene) or poly(ethyleneoxide-b-methylmethacrylate) are routinely used in our team. The presentation will enlighten the different characterizations we perform, going from classical ones such as light scattering or electron microscopy, to more unsusual ones like asymmettrical flow field flow fractionation. Exemples of biological tests will also be presented, such as photodynamic therapy efficiency on either 2D or 3D cell culture.
