Dr. Christophe Egles joined Tufts University in the Division of Cancer Biology and Tissue Engineering as an Assistant Professor in July 2005 and serves as the Associate Director of the Center for Integrated Tissue Engineering (CITE). Dr. Egles earned his B.S. in Biochemistry and his Ph.D. in Neurobiology at the University Louis Pasteur in Strasbourg, France. From 1998 to 2001, he was a postdoctoral fellow at MIT and, later, at Tufts University School of Medicine studied the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying synapse formation during early steps of neural development. From 2001 to 2004, he served as Associate Professor at the University Louis Pasteur, School of Dentistry where he studied the biomedical applications of biomaterials modifying cell/support interface, particularly for regenerative neurobiology or antibacterial protection.
Biofunctionalized artificial matrices, developing wound healing models and creating anti-microbial surfaces for the protection of medical devices.
