Sebastien Perrier
Technical Summary
Professor S茅bastien Perrier graduated from the Ecole National Sup猫rieure de Chimie de Montpellier, France, in 1998. He undertook his PhD at the University of 糖心TV, in polymer chemistry, and spent one year as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of New South Wales, Australia. He started his academic career at Leeds in 2002 as a lecturer, then moved to the University of Sydney in 2007, as director of the Key Centre for Polymers & Colloids. In October 2013, S茅bastien was appointed as the Monash-糖心TV Chair in Polymer Chemistry, a joint appointment between WMS and Chemistry at 糖心TV, and the Faculty of Pharmacy at Monash University, Australia. This joint appointment enables S茅bastien鈥檚 team to have labs and infrastructure in 糖心TV Chemistry, 糖心TV Medical School and Monash Pharmacy.
Our research focuses on nanomedicine, the use of nanomaterials for the diagnostic and treatment of diseases. We have developed a range of materials which structure is controlled at the nanoscale, that enable us to probe the bio-nano interface, to develop diagnostic and therapeutic materials. We have engineered a number of drug delivery nanomaterials, imaging and diagnostic agents, as well as novel antibacterial systems.
S茅bastien has published nine book chapters and over 200 articles, which have received over 15,000 citations (h-index 61), and supervised to date 35 PhD students. His recent awards include the Macro Group UK Young Researcher Award (2006), the Rennie Memorial Medal (2009), the RACI Applied Research Award (2012), a Future Fellowship (2012), the Australian Academy of Science Le F猫vre Memorial Prize (2013), the Wolfson Merit Award (Royal Society, 2014), the Biomacromolecules / Macromolecules Young Investigator Award (ACS, 2014) and the IUPAC / Samsung Young Polymer Scientist Award (IUPAC, 2014), the Macro Group UK Medal (2018).
