Christel LE BON

Christel LE BON is a research engineer with a background in physico-chemistry of polymers. She did her pH.D. studying the agggregation process under heat of β-lactoglobulin, a globular protein by using Static and Dynamic Light Scatterring, Size Exclusion chromatography. She also focused on analysing the interfacial properties of oleosins, oil body proteins.


Her current work focuses on developing functionalized amphipols and their applications.
