Sandre Olivier
Career
Dr Olivier Sandre is tenured CNRS researcher since 2001.
After his PhD in 2000 on the dynamics of pores in giant lipid vesicles at the Physicochimie Curie laboratory in Paris, he did a 1-year post-doc at Chem. Engr. Dpt of UC Santa Barbara CA on the physical characterization of recombinant protein nanotubes. In 2001, he came back to Pierre & Marie Curie University in Paris as junior CNRS researcher, to work on polymeric systems doped with magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs).
He joined the Laboratory of Organic Polymer Chemistry at the Univ. Bordeaux and Bordeaux INP in 2010, after collaborating with Pr S. Lecommandoux since 2003 on the design and study of magnetic polymersomes for theranostic applications (MRI combined with anti-cancer therapy).
He published more than hundred articles on the design and properties of various nanovectors, based on different bricks including polymers, lipids, IONPs, optical probes and MRI contrast agents (USPIO or Mn complexes).
Currently, Dr Olivier Sandre is serving as Chair of the Scientific Council of the CNRS Institute of Chemistry, and Vice-chair of the French Polymer Group in charge of the relationship with the French Physics Society.
