ACTIVITES DE RECHERCHE / SERVICES

The LAGEPP (Laboratoire d’Automatique, de Génie des Procédés et de Génie Pharmaceutique) is a research laboratory of the University Lyon 1 and the French national Institute for scientific research (CNRS UMR 5007). It develops pluridisciplinary research in chemical engineering and pharmaceutical technology.

The “pharmaceutical engineering” team (GePharm) expertise encompasses several scientific domains devoted to physico-chemical characterization, formulation and biological in vitro evaluation.

This team mainly works on novel nanosystems for the administration of chemical and biological compounds intended for therapeutic and diagnostic applications. Different projects are ongoing and aimed at implementing conventional chemotherapeutic strategies with immunotherapeutic approach to fight cancers. Gepharm has the expertise to evaluate the druggability, to enhance bioavailability overcoming biological barriers and to provide targeting functionality to novel molecular candidates.

The team is composed of 3 Professors, 6 Associates Professors and 3 CNRS Research Directors.
