Faculty of Medicine

Prof. Boisselier received her PhD from Université de Bordeaux (France) in 2009 during which she synthesized and functionalized gold nanoparticles and dendrimers for biomedical applications. She then completed a postdoctoral training at Université Laval (Canada) where she studied the biophysical behavior of membrane proteins involved in ocular diseases. She joined the ophthalmology department as an assistant professor in 2014 and is now full professor in this same department. She has developed an extensive expertise in synthesis, functionalization, stabilization and encapsulation of gold nanoparticles, and her group is currently developing new delivery systems based on gold nanoparticles for ophthalmic drugs. She is the co-holder of 3 patents that address concrete problems encountered by manufacturers. Her research group also studies the influence of various parameters related to the properties of phospholipids on the membrane binding of several proteins present in the eye.
