Nadine NASSIF

Nadine Nassif (1975) is a CNRS researcher at the Laboratory “Chimie de la Matière Condensée de Paris” (UMR 7574).
She gained her PhD on bacteria encapsulation in silica sol–gel matrices under Jacques Livage’s guidance (2001-2003) at UMR 7574. Afterwards, she did post-doctoral work with Markus Antonietti and Helmut Coelfen (Max Planck Institute for Colloids & Interfaces, Potsdam) on biomimetic approaches for calcium carbonate crystallization (2003-2005). Then she worked in Marie-Madeleine Giraud-Guille’s team (UMR 7574) as assistant professor “ATER” (2005-2006).
Since 2007, her research focuses on collagen self-assembly to biomimetics materials for tissue engineering and biomineralization studies. She completed her professional qualification (Habilitation) in 2016 on “physico-chemical approaches of bone biomineralization”.
Her main present interest is building a tissue library based on Type I collagen self-assembly by controlling  the three dimensional shaping of the resulting materials and determines the “structural-function” properties. For this purpose, she is sharing her time with the Institut Langevin (ESPCI, PSL).
