معرفی
Julie Laloy is a researcher at the University of Namur, affiliated with the Namur Thrombosis and Hemostasis Center, Namur Nanosafety Center, and NAmur MEdicine & Drug Innovation Center (NAMEDIC). She holds a PhD in Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences and has been actively involved in numerous national and international research projects since 2006.
Her research focuses on the safety and biomedical applications of nanomaterials. Key areas include nanotoxicology, hemocompatibility, in vitro and in vivo models for toxicity assessment, and nanoparticle-based drug delivery. She has developed innovative models for evaluating the impact of nanoparticles on biological systems, particularly in cardiovascular and gastrointestinal contexts.
The most recent publications highlight a strong trend in nanomedicine and toxicological evaluation, with studies on copper oxide nanopowders, squalene-adenosine nanoparticles for cardiac protection, and microplastic toxicity in inflammatory bowel disease. These works reflect interdisciplinary efforts combining materials science, pharmacology, and toxicology.
Her scientific awards include:
- Development and validation of a whole-body inhalation exposure model for rats (2011)
- Participation in multiple economic missions of the Wallon region (2012, 2013, 2015)
- A competitive fellowship on the solubility of ZnO and Ag nanoparticles (2015)
Julie Laloy has supervised doctoral research and contributed to multiple collaborative projects. She has received research grants from national and regional funding bodies, as evidenced by her leadership in projects such as MULTICOATINGS4DENTALIMPLANTS and PHARE-BIOCOMPATIBILITE. Her work aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals related to health and responsible innovation.
She is actively involved in research networks and has presented her work at international conferences and symposia. Her research team operates within interdisciplinary platforms focused on drug innovation and nanosafety, fostering collaboration across biomedical and materials sciences.
