Hector Adiel Flores Nestor, winner of the Junior’Innov SPS Call for Proposals
A project of the "Dynamics and Engineering of Lipidic Compartiments" DECLIC team
It was through his master’s program (Bioceb AgroParisTech) that Adiel Hector Adiel Flores Nestor discovered the IJPB and the research conducted there. Along with three other students, he was welcomed into several teams within the unit, including the "Dynamics and Engineering of Lipidic Compartiments" DECLIC team, to develop the third component of the program’s Green Line Project.
This immersion in the laboratory allowed him to explore the research projects led by the DECLIC team focused on the functionalization of lipid droplets in yeast and plants. After completing his master’s degree, he wanted to return to contribute to the development and valorization of this technology. The SPS'Junior Innov program was a perfect fit for the situation, providing funding for a one-year engineering contract to continue the proof of concept and produce marketable results.
Project VYVALAVIDA - Vectorization of hydrophobic viral antigens via the lipid droplet
Recent sanitary crises (COVID-19, lumpy skin disease, etc.) have highlighted our vulnerability to emerging viruses and their impact on the global economy. In this context, there is a significant need for therapeutic solutions that are effectiveefficient, rapid to implement, and cost-effective. Hydrophobic antigens are new targets of interest for the development of novel vaccine strategies but are difficult to produce. This project aims to develop lipid nanovectors that mimic viral particles to facilitate the expression, delivery, and presentation of hydrophobic antigens. Initially, our the objective is to validate the technology (proof of concept at TRL3 to TRL4) by focusing on antigens from viral zoonoses that affect livestock.
