Set up of innovating
medical devices and drugs
The CBC Carnot Institute’s research in the areas of health and cosmetics contributes to advances in drugs and medical care:
– Synthesis of bioactive molecules as well as hybrid materials and nanostructured composites for drug transport and delivery
– Elaboration of vectors and probes to study living organisms
– Development of innovative medical devices
Our institute also serves cosmetics companies with expertise in formulations, functional excipients and controlled release systems.
