Leblond-Chain, Jeanne (1979-.... ; chimiste)

Jeanne LEBLOND CHAIN is a drug delivery expert focused on stimuli-responsive systems. Equipped with an engineer degree in organic chemistry, she developed synthetic vectors for gene therapy in her Ph.D. (University Paris V) and molecular tweezers for controlled drug delivery during her post-doc (Pr Leroux, U. Montreal). She joined the Faculty of Pharmacy (U. Montreal) in 2011 and directed the Gene Delivery Laboratory for 8 years. In 2019, she was recruited as a senior researcher at INSERM in ARNA laboratory. As a group leader of “Targeted Aptamers, Medicines and Sensing”, she is exploring supramolecular assemblies of lipids and nucleic acids for environment-responsive and controlled drug delivery systems.
