COGNET RESEARCH in NanoBiophotonics
LP2N - ​Institute of optics, 
​CNRS & University of Bordeaux, France



​Our interdisciplinary team  is motivated by a double aim:
​understanding light/matter interactions in individual nanoscale objects & developing single-molecule imaging approaches for answering key biological questions.
​
Our current projects focus on single-wall carbon nanotube optics, super-resolution microscopy, single particle tracking strategies, quantitative phase imaging, developments of optical nanoprobes for high-contrast imaging, and several applications of these approaches to biology, with a strong interest for neuroscience where nanoscale imaging provides unprecedented tools to study the complex architecture of the brain (extracellular space, receptor nano-organization...)

Post-doc positions available. Please send CV and motivation letter to LC
