DESCRIPTION:Prof. Luisa De Cola\, Institut de Science et d'Ingénierie Sup
 ramoléculaires\, Université de Strasbourg\nBio: Prof. De Cola has been F
 ull Professor (Class Exceptionnelle) since 1 September 2013\, and AXA chai
 r of Supramolecular and Biomaterial Chemistry\, at the Institut de Science
  et d'Ingénierie Supramoléculaires\, ISIS\, University of Strasbourg\, F
 rance. Previously she had been Adjunct Scientist at the Karlsruher Institu
 t für Technologie (KIT)\, Germany.\nDynamic systems that can undergo reve
 rsible processes such formation of breaking of bonds/structures are of gre
 at interest. The talk will illustrate some of the recent results on respon
 sive structures able to change emission colors and of which we can control
  the size and the the self-assembly process[1]. The assembly process can b
 e followed in real time and followed by confocal microscopy due to the cha
 nge in the emission colors of the different aggregates.\nResponsive materi
 als can also be achieved by combining inorganic and organic moieties to ac
 hieve breakable silica systems that can deliver large macromolecules such 
 as proteins [2]. The silica is indeed modified in order to incorporate bre
 akable groups able to respond to an external stimulus. The breakable parti
 cles can also be selectively destroyed inside living cells opening new per
 spectives to gene therapy.\n[1] A. Aliprandi\, M. Mauro\, L. De Cola Natur
