CV

In French

La Dr Simona Mura a obtenu ses diplômes de Pharmacie et Chimie en 2005 à l’Université de Cagliari (Italie). Elle a ensuite poursuivi un doctorat en chimie et technologie des médicaments, qu’elle a achevé en 2009. Ses recherches doctorales portaient sur l’étude de systèmes colloïdaux innovants pour l’administration topique de médicaments. Elle a poursuivi son parcours académique en rejoignant le groupe du professeur Elias Fattal à l’Institut Galien, UMR CNRS 8612, Université Paris-Sud (France). Dans le cadre de ce post-doctorat, elle a étudié la toxicité de nanoparticules biodégradables destinées à l’administration pulmonaire.

En 2011, elle a été nommée Maître de Conférences dans la même université dans le cadre du programme « Chaires CNRS-Enseignement supérieur », et a intégré l’équipe du Prof. Patrick Couvreur à l’Institut Galien Paris-Sud. En 2015, elle a été nommée professeure invitée à l’Université d’Osaka (groupe de M. Akashi) et, en 2017, elle a intégré le prestigieux Institut Universitaire de France (IUF) en tant que membre junior. Elle a obtenu son HDR (habilitation à diriger des recherches) en 2018 et, en septembre 2022, elle a été nommée Professeure des universités.

Ses travaux de recherche se situent à l’interface de la chimie, de la physico-chimie et de la biologie. Elle est co-autrice de 70 articles dans des journaux internationaux à comité de lecture, de 4 chapitres d’ouvrage et coéditrice d’un livre.

In English

Dr. Simona Mura completed her Pharmacy degree in 2005 at the University of Cagliari (Italy). Then, she pursued a PhD in Chemistry and Technology of Drugs, graduating in 2009. Her doctoral research focused on the design and in vitro evaluation of innovative vesicular systems for the topical delivery of drugs. She continued her academic journey by joining the research group led by Professor E. Fattal at the Institut Galien, UMR CNRS 8612, University Paris-Sud (France). In this post-doctoral position, she investigated the lung toxicity of biodegradable nanoparticles specifically designed for pulmonary drug administration.

In 2011, she was appointed Associate Professor at the same university. During the period 2011-2016, she was affiliated with the CNRS through the Chaires d’excellence program, conducting research in the team led by Professor P. Couvreur. In 2015, she has been appointed Visiting professor at the Osaka University (Group of M. Akashi) and in 2017 she integrated the prestigious Institut Universitaire de France (IUF) as a Junior member. She has been awarded her HDR (Accreditation to conduct research) in 2018 and, in September 2022, she has been appointed full Professor.

She conducts research at the interface of chemistry, physical chemistry, and biology.  She is (co)author of 70 peer-reviewed articles in international journals, 4 book chapters and co-editor of 1 book.
