CV
Après des études de Physique à l’Université Paris Sud (France), Nicolas Tsapis a fait son doctorat sur l’influence des protéines sur les propriétés élastiques de membranes biologiques modèles au Laboratoire de Physique Statistique (ENS, Paris, France). En 2001, il a rejoint l’Université de Harvard en tant que chercheur post-doctoral dans les groupes des professeurs David A. Edwards et David A. Weitz. Il y a étudié le processus de séchage de gouttelettes contenant des particules colloïdales d’un point de vue fondamental et appliqué. En octobre 2003, Nicolas Tsapis a rejoint l’équipe du professeur Elias Fattal en tant que chercheur CNRS (Institut Galien Paris-Sud, Univ Paris-Sud, Faculté de Pharmacie, Châtenay-Malabry, France). Son activité de recherche se concentre sur trois thèmes principaux : Les nouveaux agents de contraste pour l’imagerie médicale et la théranostique, le séchage par atomisation pour la délivrance pulmonaire et les nanosystèmes pour la délivrance de médicaments. En 2009, il a obtenu la médaille de bronze du CNRS et en 2014, il a été nommé directeur de recherche au CNRS. Avec le professeur E. Fattal, il codirige l’équipe Ingénierie Particulaire et Cellulaire à visée thérapeutique. Depuis 2020, il est Directeur -Adjoint de l’Institut Galien Paris-Saclay. Il est l’auteur d’environ 130 publications et 8 brevets dont l’un a donné lieu à la création de la start-up Imescia (https://imescia.com/).
After studying Physics at Univ Paris Sud (France), Nicolas Tsapis did his PhD on the influence of proteins on the elastic properties of model biological membranes at Laboratoire de Physique Statistique (ENS, Paris, France). In 2001, he went to Harvard University as a post-doctoral fellow in the groups of Prof. David A. Edwards and Prof. David A. Weitz. There he studied the drying process of droplets containing colloidal particles from a fundamental as well as from an applied point of view. In October 2003, Nicolas Tsapis joined the team of Prof Elias Fattal as a CNRS researcher (Institut Galien Paris-Sud, Univ Paris-Sud, Faculté de Pharmacie, Châtenay-Malabry, France). His research activity focuses on three main topics: Novel contrast agents for medical imaging and theranostics, spray drying from fundamentals to therapeutic applications and thermoresponsive polymers. In 2009, he obtained the CNRS bronze medal and in 2014 he was appointed CNRS research director. Together with Prof E. Fattal is the co-leader of the Particle and Cell Engineering for Therapeutic applications group at Institut Galien Paris-Saclay. Since 2020, he is the vice-director of Institut Galien Paris-Saclay. He is the co-author of about 130 publications and 8 patents among which one led to the founding of Imescia (https://imescia.com/).
