Nicolas Martin is CNRS Researcher at the Centre de Recherche Paul Pascal, University of Bordeaux, France. After completing his Ph.D. at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris on polyelectrolyte-assisted protein folding, he expanded his research on synthetic cells in the group of Prof. Stephen Mann FRS at the University of Bristol, UK. His current research interests focus on the design and characterization of stimuli-responsive complex coacervates based on polyelectrolytes, nucleic acids, peptides, or amphiphiles to mimic the dynamic intracellular organization and shed light on the emergence of self-assembled life-like compartments.
