Watch Shaik Muhammad Imran's work on video

Shaik Mohammad Imran (UCBL-ILM) was not able to attend the Phonons 2025 conference in Argentina to present his poster in person.
Fortunately, you can now watch the video on his research, « VIPA-based Brillouin Spectroscopy of Sub-100 nm Polystyrene Nanoparticles: Probing Nanoscale Mechanical Coupling », which offers fascinating insights into nanoscale mechanical coupling and Brillouin spectroscopy, and show him support on Linkedin!

Lilou's secondment in Hamburg

In July 2025 the group “Dynamics of viral structures” CSSB in Hamburg welcomed Lilou Duplantier (UCBL). The goal: understanding the stake of the production of viruses by discovering the process and the key point of the elaboration of Norovirus VLPs, the culture of viruses and their inactivation. This visit has been coordinated by Ronja, post-doctoral scientist part of the project as much as Sanne and Jürgen, the two research technicians in charge of the virus production.

VIRUSong in Buenos Aires

VIRUSong was in Buenos Aires (Argentina) for the Phonons conferences (December 1-5, 2025). VIRUSong Coordinator Jérémie Margueritat, gave an invited talk entitled: « Low-frequency Raman scattering as a tool for probing nanocrystals surface chemistry ». 

Maria's secondment in Madrid

Maria Bandurist (UCBL)  spent 2 weeks at CSIC laboratory in Madrid, Spain. She has learnt how to perform EDC coupling on the CdSe and CdS nanoplatelets with biological nano-objects. Together with Priscilla Kosaka, researcher at IMM-CSIC, they developed different coupling protocols to couple the nanoplatelets from UCBL with bio molecules such as BSA, Antibody HRP, or glucosamine. This a first step towards binding viruses onto the nanoplatelets !
