Guillaume Gines, a research fellow at the GULLIVER laboratory, has been awarded the CNRS bronze medal for his work on DNA-based nanotechnologies and molecular programming.
Guillaume Gines obtained his PhD in 2013 at the Inorganic and Biological Chemistry Laboratory, under the supervision of Didier Gasparutto. He did his first postdoctorate at the University of Tokyo (LIMMS) under the supervision of Yannick Rondelez, followed by a second at ESPCI Paris-PSL. He was subsequently recruited by the CNRS in 2020 to the GULLIVER laboratory. He has received ERC Starting Grant funding, entitled MoP-MiP, for the period 2021-2026.
He has developed systems for molecular computing, by grafting DNA strands onto micrometric beads. This approach can be used for molecular diagnosis from liquid biopsies, to monitor the condition of cancer patients or for the early diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases. It ultra-sensitively detects nucleic biomarkers by combining complex molecular and microfluidic systems.
