Dr. Angelina Angelova

Angelina Angelova is a Director of Research (DR CNRS) at Institut Galien Paris-Saclay (IGPS) CNRS UMR 8612, Paris-Saclay University. She has an H.D.R. degree (Habilitation à Diriger les Recherches) from the Université de Paris-Sud 11, France, and an academic background in physical chemistry of self-assembled biomolecular nanostructures and biophysics of lipid membranes. She has performed original research on the design and structural analysis of liquid crystalline nanocarriers of peptides, proteins, nucleic acids, and small bioactives. She is interested in structural dynamics of lipid self-assembled nanoarchitecture, phase behavior of self-assembled biomolecular systems, lyotropic lipid polymorphism, physical chemistry and structural transitions of multicomponent membranes, cubic lipid membranes as protein nanoconfinement media, organized lipid films (monolayers at the air/water interface and Langmuir-Blodgett multilayers), amphiphilic cyclodextrin nano assemblies, and membrane protein receptor organization and targeting. She is also a member of the Executive Council of the International Plasmalogen Society (IPLS) and a member of the Scientific Council of the network GDR BIOMIM 2088 CNRS "Biomimetics and Bioinspiration".
