Who I am

Laure Gibot earned her Ph.D. in molecular and cell biology in 2010 from the Laval university (Quebec, Qc, Canada), where she focused on studying human skin tissue engineering. Following this, she joined Dr Marie-Pierre Rols’s lab in Toulouse to study drug delivery at tissue scale using physical trigger, namely electric fields. Since October 2018, she has been an independent CNRS researcher at the Softmat laboratory in Toulouse in France. It is a chemistry laboratory dedicated to the study of soft matter, with drug delivery based on polymer self-assemblies and photodynamic therapy as main biological application. Her current research focuses on understanding how chemical stimuli used for drug delivery modulate cellular behaviour and tissue organization, with the aim of proposing original therapeutic strategies in antitumor area and regenerative medicine.
