Pharmacy Faculty
of Montpellier, as seen from Paris flight... Shortly, the CRBA is a group of 16 permanent members (alltogether), CNRS, INSERM, Faculty Members, directing the work of PhD students, masters students and undergraduates, with the help of post-docs and sometimes visiting senior scientists . The CRBA is an interdisciplinary unit which invents, synthesizes, characterizes, formulates and tries to promote therapeutic systems based on synthetic polymers which are biofunctional, biocompatible, degradable, and sometimes bioassimilable. The aimed application fields are those of materials and macromolecular compounds for temporary uses in contact with living systems, and especially for chirurgical, pharmacological and environmental purposes. This specialization is based on knowledges, methods and technics of different fields of polymer science and applications, like polyelectrolytes, hydrosoluble autoassociating polymers, hydrogels, tissue engineering, biopolymers, and smart polymers. The team has skills and equipment in different areas, such as the synthesis of sophisticated monomers, chemical modification of polymers, physico-chemistry characterization, radiolabelling, mechanical properties, different types of degradation experiments and their monitoring. The CRBA activities are concentrated on 7 research fields strongly linked together. : optically active polymers, Multifunctional polyelectrolytes, Polymers of Therapeutic Interest, Macromolecular prodrugs and drugs, Biodegradation and fate, radiolabelling and chemical modification, smart polymers and systems.
