ABOUT LUBOMIR VEZENKOV
I was born in Bulgaria, where I performed my studies until I arrived in Montpellier in 2005 for my masters in the ENSCM engineering school. Then, I performed a co-tutoring PhD between the universities of Montpellier and Naples, which I graduated from in 2011. During this period we developed some potent cell penetrating foldamers that were used to vectorize pepststin and provide selective anti-cancer activity. Afterwards, I did a two-years-long post-doctoral internship in the prof. Robert Young group in Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, where I took part in the development of one the first specific autophagy inhibitors. Then, I moved back to Montpellier, and in 2016 I received an associate professor position at ENSCM in team 9 of IBMM research institute. Currently, I am working in the fields of peptide and medicinal chemistry as well as in the exciting domain of chemical biology. More precisely my team is working on creating chemical tools that can block or activate certain microtubulin post-translational modifications. Such compounds can help better understand the polarisation of neurons and can be used as therapeutics for neurodegenerative disease.
