Home > Our R&D expertise > Health and Cosmetics

The CBC Carnot Institute’s research in the areas of health and cosmetics contributes to advances in drugs and medical care:

  • Synthesis of bioactive molecules as well as hybrid materials and nanostructured composites for drug transport and delivery
  • Elaboration of vectors and probes to study living organisms
  • Development of innovative medical devices

Our institute also serves cosmetics companies with expertise in formulations, functional excipients and controlled release systems.
