RESEARCH
The Laboratory of Plasma Physics (LPP):
The creation of the LPP has brought together within a single laboratory of teams working on topics including hot plasmas
and cold plasmas, astrophysical, industrial and thermal plasmas, structured around large national or international projects. This
laboratory was created as part of UPMC’s effort to provide structure for the discipline. The LPP is a key member of LAbex
Plas@Par, supported by the Sorbonne University cluster.
The LPP is a major player in the academic research of cold plasmas. The LLP cold plasmas team covers a broad range
of topics within the field and has several fruitful industry partnerships, including: plasmas for the environment, plasmas for
micro/nano-technologies, plasmas for photovoltaic energy, plasma-assisted combustion, plasma-based spatial propulsion,
and more recently, plasmas for medical applications. Our research is both experimental (significant expertise in laser
spectroscopy, rapid imaging and radiofrequency and microwave instrumentation) and theoretical (the physics of transport in
cold plasmas; coupling of electromagnetic power to plasma).
Creation of the new “cold plasmas for biology and medicine” theme in collaboration with LIB:
The recruited associate professor will join the team that is working on applications for plasmas in medicine and biology.
The goal is to establish a team that is competitive on an international level. The team currently consists of Antoine Rousseau
(DR CNRS), the recruited associate professor and a doctoral student funded by Labex Plas@Par (funding already obtained).
The research project will be conducted in collaboration with the “Imaging and therapy development: Nanostructures to humansApplied to cancer management” team directed by Lori bridal and Frédérique Frouin at the Laboratory for Biological Imaging
(LIB).
The use of non-thermal plasmas - also referred to as electrical discharge - for biomedical applications has created a revolution
in the past ten years, with major advances in the fields of wound and ulcer scarring, dermatology, hematology, dental surgery,
very recently for the treatment of certain tumors, etc…Previously established research collaborations have already enabled
the development of applications such as plasma coagulation, plasma-mediated sterilization or the fabrication and use
of biomaterials. We collaborate with doctors, biologists and plasma physicists worldwide to test and explore new potentials
in plasma technology and to understand the mechanisms of plasmas, which are still poorly understood.
The principle characteristic of non-thermal plasmas (NTPs) is that the temperature of the gas remains low while the temperature
of the 1 eV to 10 eV electrons is in the range of 10,000 to 100,000 K. These energetic electrons create reactive radicals, ions
and photons. The temperature of the gas is close to ambient temperature, which makes it possible to use these plasmas as
possible treatments for living organisms. This new scientific field unites plasma physicists, doctors and biologists working on
clinical aspects and more fundamental questions; these two strategies are complementary.
The LPP wishes to develop research related to biological and medical applications for cold plasmas. This novel subject is rich
in new concepts and potential applications. Since 2011, the Laboratory has explored several concepts such as the effect of cold
plasmas on tissues and cells to in terms of the cellular response (apoptosis, necrosis, proliferation…). The LPP team
specializes in the physical and physico-chemical characterization of plasmas: the primary techniques used include rapid
imaging, optical emission spectroscopy and laser spectroscopy. Plasma-based methodologies can also be used for external
and endoscopic treatments. Our plan is to study the anti-tumor properties of cold plasmas in collaboration with the LIB.
