Sébastien Ulrich completed his PhD with Prof. Jean-Marie Lehn (Université de Strasbourg, France), and post-docs with Prof. Harry L. Anderson (Oxford University, UK) and Prof. Eric T. Kool (Stanford University, CA, USA). In 2011, he was awarded an ANR starting grant and joined the group of Prof. Pascal Dumy in Grenoble, before moving in 2012 to Montpellier, France, where he was recruited by the CNRS to develop his research interests in the field of supramolecular bioorganic chemistry. Since then, he has contributed to the development of dynamic self-assemblies for gene delivery applications. In 2017, he was awarded the CNRS Bronze Medal.
On Monday, 30 January 2022, MDPI and the Journal Molecules organized the 30th Webinar on Molecules, entitled "Multivalent Self-Assembled Systems for Biological Applications”. This online seminar was chaired by Dr. Sébastien Ulrich from the Institut des Biomolécules Max Mousseron (IBMM), CNRS, Université de Montpellier, France.
The first speaker to kick off the webinar was Prof. Dr. Pol Besenius from the Department of Chemistry Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Germany. He presented his research on “Modular Vaccines using Supramolecular Glycoconjugates” and showed how synthetic glyco-peptidic epitopes can be introduced within supramolecular polymers to trigger an immune response in vivo on mice models. Dr. Ling Peng from the Centre Interdisciplinaire de Nanoscience de Marseille, Aix-Marseille University, CNRS, UMR 7325 CINaM, France, followed with a presentation on “Self-Assembling Supramolecular Dendrimers for Biomedical Applications” and showed how amphiphilic dendrons can spontaneously organize into nanomicelles and dendrimersomes, capable of delivering hydrophobic drugs, siRNA, and bioimaging agents. Speaker presentations were followed by Q&A sessions moderated by the chair.
The webinar was offered via Zoom and required registration to attend. The full recording can be found below. In order to stay updated on the next webinars on Molecules, be sure to sign up for our newsletter by clicking on “Subscribe” at the top of the page.
