LBTI, Tissue Biology and Therapeutic Engineering Laboratory

LBTI is a leading French research laboratory specializing in the study of healthy and diseased tissues and in the development of innovative therapeutic strategies with high potential for translation toward clinical applications.

We have strong expertise in tissues such as skin, cartilage, teeth, cornea and mucosae. Our specific research aims are:

• to analyse the basic mechanisms of tissue organization and homeostasis, and to identify potential therapeutic targets
• to understand and model the tissue response to physiological or pathological stress (including mechanical stress and aging)
• to develop novel therapeutic approaches for tissue repair and targeted delivery of therapeutic agents

Our laboratory provides a highly multidisciplinary environment, gathering chemists, biochemists, cell and molecular biologists, bio-informaticians, physiologists, physicians and galenic experts.
