Francois Halloy
Post-Doctoral Research Fellow
I joined the Wood laboratory as a postdoctoral research scientist in January 2021. I hold MSc degrees in chemistry and biology from the National Graduate School of Chemistry of Montpellier (France) and a PhD degree from the ETH Zurich (Switzerland). My research interests lie at the nexus of chemistry and biology, with a concentration on the development of oligonucleotide formulations for genetic disorders. In the Wood group, my focus is on the development of molecular shuttles for the delivery of oligonucleotide therapeutics through the blood-brain barrier. My postdoctoral stay is sponsored by a Postdoctoral Mobility Fellowship from the Swiss National Science Foundation.
