General aim: To conduct nanoscale investigations in & of the complex matter using advanced light microscopy. To do this, we attempt to understand and shape light/matter interactions in individual nanoscale objects (e.g. carbon nanotubes) & to develop single-molecule super-resolution imaging approaches. Our preferred applications often involve molecular diffusion processes and near-infrared microscopy, and are related to neuroscience and cancer. Our research is performed at the LP2N laboratory (NanoBioMicroscopy team). Our current projects focus on single-wall carbon nanotube spectroscopy, super-resolution microscopy, single particle tracking strategies, molecular diffusion processes, quantitative phase imaging, developments of optical nanoprobes for high-contrast imaging, and several applications of these approaches in neuroscience and cancer. We are hiring: postdoc positions available! (click here) |

Synergy grant from the ERC awarded to Laurent together with Laurent Groc, Erwan Bezard and Valentin Nägerl, all of us from labs of the Univ. Bordeaux campus. This will be the start of an ambitious project using new approaches in high-resolution microscopy at the service of a new conceptual framework in brain cell communication.
Looking forward to 6 years of great science!
