Catherine Picart has been leading a research team at LMGP for eleven years now. She was assigned to the CEA on September 1, 2019 to head the Health Department at IRIG. The department is made up of two joint research units*, one on large-scale biology and one on the biology of cancer and infection, which […] >>

Joan Rodriguez is in his second year at Phelma and the CSUG, the Grenoble University Space Center. During the 2018-2019 academic year he had an opportunity to work on the development of AMICal SaT, the first-ever nanosatellite developed in Grenoble. Specifically, Joan contributed to the electronics and image processing systems for the satellite, which will […] >>

Théano Karatsori authored nine articles and five conference papers during her PhD research alone. If that wasn’t impressive enough, she also won the EEA* Best Dissertation Award for her work. This bright young woman, now a post-doc at Leti, is certainly doing something right! Her award-winning research on the characterization and modeling of nano-scale (28 […] >>

Currently it takes two days to prepare a blood sample for biomarker testing using mass spectrometry. Leti recently unveiled a new portable microfluidics lab that can process blood samples in just two hours. The system automates and integrates all steps in the blood sample preparation process, from extracting the plasma to purifying the peptides used […] >>

Could graphene sheets perform better than active charcoal in supercapacitor electrodes? Researchers from IRIG collaborated with two CNRS* research teams to find out. And the answer they came up with is yes—but only if you use reduced graphene oxide (rGO) in which nanometric alkanes are used as interlayer spacers. The alkanes serve as molecular pillars […] >>
