Short bio:

Patrick Couvreur, professor emeritus at the Institut Galien Paris-Saclay (IGPS - Université Paris-Saclay, CNRS), is  pioneer in nanomedicine: therapeutic molecules directly targeting tissues and cells of patients with serious illnesses such as cancer or nervous-system disease. Patrick Couvreur's research is at the junction between galenics, materials chemistry, pharmacology and nanotechnology. Results of his multi-award-winning research has led to the creation of several innovative start-ups. The researcher is also a member of scientific academies in several European countries and the United States. He became president of the French National Academy of Pharmacy in 2020.
