Authors
Abdelhamid Elaissari Research Director (DR1), CNRS, University of Lyon-1, Lyon, France.Abdelhamid Elaissari is Research Director (DR1) at CNRS, University of Lyon-1, Lyon, France, and received his undergraduate education from Agadir University, Morocco, in 1988. He moved to Louis Pasteur University (ICS-laboratory), Strasbourg, France, in which he received PhD degree in polymers and colloids (Physical-Chemistry domain) in 1991. He got a permanent position in CNRS in 1991 and then he joined CNRS-bioMerieux at ENS-Lyon laboratory, in which he has developed colloids for biomedical applications including in vivo, in vitro, and bionanotechnologies. In 2007, he moved to Engineering Processes and Automatic Laboratory (LAGEP at University of Lyon-1) in which he has been acting as a deputy director and developing smart nanocapsules for drug delivery and for in vitro biomedical applications. Since 2021, he joined ISA (Institute for Analytical Science) for developing smart nanoparticles integrated into microsystems for quick biosensor detection, samples preparation and for connected technologies.
