Biography
Nadia Benkirane-Jessel is a Research Director and Head of the Osteoarticular and Dental Regenerative Nanomedicine laboratory at INSERM (French National Institute for Health and Medical Research), France. She has received her PhD from University Louis Pasteur, France for the work on development of pseudopeptides as synthetic vaccines. She has then held a Postdoctoral position in collaboration with the Institut Pasteur, France, working on immunotherapy HIV and another Postdoctoral position on the application of modified peptides as vaccines against FMDV (Plum Island Animal Disease Center, ARS, USDA, Greenport, USA). She has joined the INSERM U595 in 2002 as a Post-doctorate and received a Diploma to direct the research (HDR) in 2004. She possesses expertise in diverse fields of molecular and cellular biology, immunochemistry, tissue engineering and biomedical engineering. In the last 10 years, she focused her research on the bio-functionalization of multilayered polyelectrolyte architectures with emphasis on the use of these architectures to induce specific cellular responses and gain control over cell proliferation and differentiation. She has 138 peer-reviewed publications in high impact factor journals, 5 chapter reviews and 5 international patents and is a regular referee for a number of scientific journals.
