Nicolas Bridiau

Nicolas Bridiau is a Lecturer-researcher at La Rochelle University, affiliated with the BCBS team and collaborating with institutions like University of Nantes and LIENSs UMR 6250 CNRS-ULR. He holds a Doctoral thesis (2005-2008) and a Research Master's in Biochemistry (option: Biochemistry, Molecular and Cellular Biology, and Bio-organic Chemistry, 2004-2005).

• Doctoral thesis: 2005-2008
• Research Master's: Biochemistry, Molecular and Cellular Biology, and Bio-organic Chemistry (2004-2005)

His research focuses on Chemoenzymatic synthesis of tumor antigens and glycopeptides, particularly SLex analogs linked to tyrosine analogs for potential anti-metastatic applications. He investigates glycosyl-hydrolases and lipases in unconventional environments for synthesizing immunomodulatory carbohydrates. Collaborations include Michel Dion (University of Nantes) and Laurent Picot (La Rochelle University).

Recent publications highlight his work on marine-derived polysaccharides with anti-heparanase properties, bioactive ulvans for skin regeneration, and enzyme immobilization techniques. Patents involve marine polysaccharide-based cosmetics and anticoagulant agents. His work bridges biochemical synthesis, marine biotechnology, and biomedical applications.

Collaborations span multiple institutions, with key contributions to marine bioproducts and enzyme engineering for industrial applications.
