Modulational instability and domain wall solitons in optical fibers
2000
The first part of this thesis presents some theoretical and experimental results about modulational instability and domain wall solitons in bimodal fibers.In the second part is devoted to the interaction of counter-propagating waves in an isotropic optical fiber
Development of functionalizable azaBODIPYs for the conception of theranostic agents and bimodal probes for imaging uses
2020
The in vivo use of optical imaging is still limited by the lack of near infrared emitting probes. This thesis work focuses on the optimization and valorization of a water-soluble fluorescent platform whose optical properties enable an in vivo use. Two distinct applications were investigated for this WazaBY (Water-soluble azaBODIPY) platform: use as a PET (or SPECT) / optical bimodal probe, and as a theranostic agent. Concerning the first project, we were able to develop a targetted SPECT/optical bimodal probe, which was radiometallated with indium 111. Using xenografted murine models, we were able to show a clear accumulation of the probe in the tumor 24 hours after injection. Moreover, the…
New site-specific bioconjugation strategies and their application to the development of molecular imaging agents for cancer diagnostic
2018
The preparation of targeted imaging agents suitable for cancer diagnostic involves the coupling of an imaging probe to a vector, generally a protein, able to specifically target cancerous tissues. Unfortunately, this bioconjugation step is often problematic. Indeed, proteins present a large variety of reactive functions that can potentially interfere with the coupling reaction. The purpose of this work is the design of innovative selective bioconjugation strategies that can facilitate the synthesis of molecular imaging agents.Our research led to the development of a simple and efficient approach allowing the modification of a protein with a fluorophore by using a site-specific bioconjugatio…
