Nabi – Nanomédecine, Biologie Extracellulaire, Intégratome et Innovations en Santé
NABI Laboratory: Mission and Objectives
The NABI Laboratory (Nanomedicine, Extracellular Biology, Integratome, and Health Innovations), established on January 1, 2025, by Université Paris Cité, CNRS, and INSERM, aims to develop next-generation therapeutic approaches and make them accessible to the greatest number of patients.
Through interdisciplinary research and our technology accelerator, the IVETh Bioproduction and Biotherapy Integrator, our ambition is to democratize biotherapies and de-risk their bioproduction.
Our Objectives
Understanding the role and fate of exogenous and endogenous nanoparticles in the body
- Investigate their properties, transformations, and impact within the organism.
- Decipher intercellular communication mechanisms involving biological nanoparticles (extracellular vesicles, viral particles, mitochondria, etc.).
Developing innovative (bio)therapies
- Leverage biological nanoparticles as therapeutic vectors in nanomedicine or as alternatives to cell therapies.
- Optimize immunotherapies and other precision treatments through external physical control.
- Overcome treatment resistance mechanisms with innovative delivery strategies.
Integrating bioproduction challenges
- Develop robust, controlled, and eco-friendly processes for the production of biological nanoparticles for therapeutic use.
- Ensure the reproducibility, safety, and scalability of manufacturing processes through AI-driven optimization for industrial and clinical transfer.
- Develop quality control methods at the nanometric scale.
Facilitating the transfer of innovations to clinical applications
- Transform scientific breakthroughs into concrete medical applications.
- Bridge the gap between fundamental research and clinical trials to directly benefit patients.
Promoting an interdisciplinary and collaborative approach
- Bring together researchers in engineering, physics, biology, medicine, chemistry, and AI for an integrated approach.
- Develop partnerships with academic institutions and industry to accelerate innovation.
Addressing global and planetary health challenges
- Contribute to disease prevention and treatment by developing safer, more effective, and more targeted therapies.
- Integrate environmental and ethical considerations into the development of nanomedicines and bioprocesses.
The NABI Laboratory is committed to pushing the boundaries of nanomedicine to make biotherapies accessible to all and to secure their large-scale production.

Thérapies ciblées : Un nouveau convoyeur de traitements au cœur des cellules
Produites par la plupart de nos cellules, les vésicules extracellulaires sont impliquées dans de nombreux processus physiologiques. Elles permettent notamment aux cellules de communiquer à distance à travers le transfert de molécules biologiques. La recherche tente de détourner cette machinerie cellulaire pour administrer de manière ciblée des substances thérapeutiques à certaines cellules dysfonctionnelles ou cancéreuses.

L’origine du nez
La disposition générale des visages est commune à de nombreuses espèces de vertébrés. Souhaitant comprendre comme se formait le nez, Vincent Fleury, de l’antenne MSCmed située à l’école de médecine, a découvert que les trous du nez et les narines, se formaient suite à...
Inserm Workshop 273 – Advances in therapeutic applications of extracellular vesicles
We are co-organizing an INSERM Workshop on Advances in therapeutic applications of extracellular vesicles. First part (theoretical) will take place in Bordeaux in June. Second part (technical) will take place within IVETh in Paris in October. Deadline for registration...
Une étude d’ampleur sur l’effet des nanoparticules
Depuis quelques années, la chimie, la pharmacie, l’agriculture, l’agroalimentaire, les cosmétiques etc. se tournent de plus en plus vers des préparations contenant des nanoparticules. La présence croissante de ces nanoparticules dans notre environnement soulève des...
