Short bio
I have been trained in chemistry at Bordeaux University. I did a PhD from 2004 to 2007 in supramolecular chemistry under the supervision of Dr. Ivan Huc. I worked on the development of proteomimetic structures using abiotic foldamers. I then obtained a fellowship from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Sciences (JSPS) to join the group of Prof. Itaru Hamachi at Kyoto University where I worked on new peptidyl receptors for peptide recognition. In 2009, I came back to France as temporary lecturer (ATER) at the Laboratoire des Biomolécules (LBM, UMR 7203), where I worked with Prof. Philippe Karoyan to develop foldamers based on proline derivatives. I have been appointed as CNRS researcher in 2010 and joined the group of Clotilde Policar at the LBM. I first worked on the conjugation of bioactive molecules with peptide to enhance their penetration and bioavaibality as well on the development of multimodal metal-based probes. Now I want to combine peptide and metal ions to synergistically take advantages of the properties of both classes of molecules by developing new peptidyl metalloprobes and metallodrugs.

PDT drugs act as photosensitisers, which upon using appropriate wavelength light and in the presence of molecular oxygen, can lead to cell death. Herein, we reviewed the general characteristics of the different generation of photosensitisers. We also outlined the emergence of rhenium (Re) and more specifically, Re(I) tricarbonyl complexes as a new generation of metal-based photosensitisers for photodynamic therapy that are of great interest in multidisciplinary research. The photophysical properties and structures of Re(I) complexes discussed in this review are summarised to determine basic features and similarities among the structures that are important for their phototoxic activity and future investigations. We further examined the in vitro and in vivo efficacies of the Re(I) complexes that have been synthesised for anticancer purposes.

PDT drugs act as photosensitisers, which upon using appropriate wavelength light and in the presence of molecular oxygen, can lead to cell death. Herein, we reviewed the general characteristics of the different generation of photosensitisers. We also outlined the emergence of rhenium (Re) and more specifically, Re(I) tricarbonyl complexes as a new generation of metal-based photosensitisers for photodynamic therapy that are of great interest in multidisciplinary research.
