Nébéwia Griffete ORCID: 0000-0003-4888-6261 youtube video: https://youtu.be/ITbQHYa_ImQ Date of birth: 30.12.1985 Nationality: French With my expertise in **molecularly imprinted polymer**, **inorganic nanomaterial synthesis** and **surface modification**, I joined Sorbonne University in 2013 to develop a novel research thematic that concerns molecularly imprinted magnetic nanomaterials for health and environment applications. Since 8 years, I developed innovative **magnetic delivery nanomaterials for triggered cancer therapy**. I showed for the first time in 2015, that it is possible to release drug on demand under **alternative magnetic field (AMF) using magnetic molecularly imprinted polymer**. Moreover, I am working on the targeting aspects using biotin or folate at the surface of the MIP for breast cancer cell targeting and cell death after doxorubicin release through AMF. In parallel, I am working on the **toxicity and the degradation of magnetic molecularly imprinted nanoparticles**. Huge efforts are devoted to this important part of my research work. My **29 publications**in peer-reviewed journal articles including journals like JACS, Chemistry of Materials, or Nanoscale reach over **1010 citations (h-index=18).** I have **one international patent** with R. Nicolay and L. Leibler (2017) US Patent 9,765,163, Particles containing reversible covalent bonds which may be sequentially formed and broken multiple times. • **EDUCATION** Jan. 2020 : HDR diploma (Hability to Direct Research) in chemistry, Chemistry Faculty/ Sorbonne université Sept. 2011: PhD in physico chemistry of materials, Chemistry Faculty/ Paris Diderot University/ ITODYS laboratory, France, Pr. Mangeney C. and Dr. Chehimi M. I obtained the best french university thesis prize in health and environment delivered by the national Pharmacy academy. • **CURRENT POSITION(S)** 2013 – now Associate professor Sorbonne University, PHENIX laboratory, Colloid inorganic team, France. My research thematic: Magnetic molecularly imprinted polymer for nanomedicine • **PREVIOUS POSITIONS** 2012 – 2013 **Postdoctoral position**, ESPCI, MMC laboratory, France. Magnetic nanoparticles synthesis and surface modification with polymer for catalysis under the supervision of Pr. L. Leibler. 2011 – 2012 **Postdoctoral position** Adolphe Merkle Institute, Fribourg University, Switzerland. Synthesis of hybrid nanomaterials using novel surface modification methods for biological interests under the supervision of Pr. F. Scheffold and Dr. H. Dietsch. 2008 – 2011 **PhD student,** Chemistry Faculty/ Paris Diderot University/ ITODYS laboratory, France, Combination of Molecularly imprinted polymer and photonic crystals for pollutants detection. • **SUPERVISION OF GRADUATE STUDENTS AND POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWS**  • **TEACHING ACTIVITIES** During my 192h of teaching per year at different level, from 1st year to Master, (240h in 2020/2021 due to the COVID19), I have the opportunity to deliver teachings about MIP since 2015. Since January 2021 in live with my research field I proposed a new teaching at the L3 level “Chemistry toward cancer’’ (UE TEOREM, L3 Chimie SU) : 6h of teaching, 6 h on publication studies, and 20h of manipulations where students learn for the first time how to do culture cells, toxicity tests and how to use flowcytometry. • **ORGANISATION OF SCIENTIFIC MEETINGS** June 2022: MIPOL2022 – member of the scientific committee Since May 21: Webinars for young chemists (one per month, 15 min of presentation) on a special topic organized with the RJ-SCF Ile de France members – 50 persons.
