This project aims to develop a new-generation surgical adhesive for the rapid and effective treatment of severe traumatic wounds, particularly in civil or military emergency situations. This new system aims to combine strong adhesion in wet environments, on-demand UV activation, controlled biodegradation, and wound healing stimulation properties.
The formulation is based on a hybrid macromolecular system combining natural molecules (anti-inflammatory and pro-scarring), both multifunctionalized to be activated on demand. These molecules will be chemically modified to modulate the hydrophilic/hydrophobic balance, allowing the formulation (paste, spray, or nanofibers) to be adapted to clinical needs, paving the way for new galenic forms.
Different formats (single-use tube, spray, or nanofibers) will be offered to enable rapid application tailored to the nature of the wound, thereby helping to reduce the consequences of open wounds outside the operating room.
We are looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to work on a new generation of surgical adhesive.
