Projects
Imaging of CD133 in glioblastoma
2023-2025 (CD133DIAG)
In collaboration with Dr Emilie Roeder, Nancyclotep, Nancy
Just starting ! :)
LOXL2 : an imaging target in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
2021-2023 (IMAFIBRO)
In collaboration with Dr Pierre-Simon Bellaye, CGFL, Dijon
In this project, we synthesized the first nuclear imaging tracer targeting LOXL2, an enzyme expressed during fibrosis. This tracer was evaluated by SPECT-CT in a mouse model of progressive pulmonary fibrosis
We are currently exploring this target in other indications.
Dichlorotetrazine : A molecular platform for the dual-labeling of proteins
2017-2022 (JCJC - ZINELABEL)
ZINELABEL explored the chemistry of dichlorotetrazine, a minimalist chemical platform allowing the site-specific introduction two payloads/imaging probes on a single protein residue. This platform has now been applied to the synthesis of numerous bioconjugates.
Bimodal PET-Fluorescent tracers targeting NTS1 in pancreatic cancer
2017-2018 (FLUOnTEP)
In collaboration with Dr Aurélie Prignon, Sorbonne Université, Paris
Here, we designed peptide-based bimodal PET (68Ga) - fluorescent tracers targeting neurotensin receptor 1 (NTS1). These tracers were evaluated in a mice model of pancreatic cancer (PDAC, AsPC1 xenograft). The project was extended with the radiolabeling of small molecule antagonists of NTS1.
