After a PhD, Patrick Curmi is moving in the mid-1980 to fundamental research. During his thesis science, he worked with Alain Tedgui on biochemical and biophysical processes, contributing to the development of cardiovascular disease. It stresses the importance of specialized receptors in lipid metabolism in the vessel walls and proposes a process to understand the deleterious effect of hypertension on the development of these diseases.

After a postdoc in molecular biology under the direction of André Sobel, he developed the conditions that will allow us to discover in 2000 the atomic structure of tubulin, a protein essential to cell division and in many morphogenetic processes and intracellular communication. Convinced of the importance of multidisciplinarity in research in biology / medicine, he coordinates, in the mid-2000, a European network of materials specialist, photophysicists, chemists and biologists to produce and study fluorescent nanoparticles of diamond used as versatile permanent marker in biology / medicine. The laboratory SABNP continues this research on the atomic structure of proteins of importance for man and the work between nanoscience and biology.

Author of a number of leading international publications, Patrick Curmi is on the board of directors of "Neuropol Francilien", a member of the scientific council of the University of Evry and expert for many international journals with referees.
