Christine Grauby-Heywang

Christine Grauby-Heywang received the degree in biochemistry and molecular biophysics and the Ph.D. degree in molecular biophysics from Paris 6 University, France, in 1998. She was an Assistant Professor at Paris-Nord University, France, and a post-doctoral position of one year with the Sackmann’s Group, Technische Universität München, Germany. She became an Assistant Professor with Bordeaux 1 University, France, in 1999, where she teaches mainly physics. She is a member of the BioPhyNa Group, LOMA. Her research fields concern mainly Langmuir monolayers and supported films made of lipids or organic molecules such as functionalized hemicyanines with particular optical properties, in collaboration with Russian colleagues from the Frumkin Institute, Moscow. She turned a few years ago to the interaction of nanoparticles with membrane models and to the development of biosensors.
