Miriana Kfoury est née au Liban en 1990. Elle a obtenu son doctorat de Chimie et de Biotechnologie en cotutelle entre l’Université du Littoral Côte d’Opale et l’Université Libanaise en 2015. De 2016 à 2021, elle a occupé un poste de professeur assistant à l’Université Libanaise. Elle est nommée Maitre de Conférences en septembre 2021. Ses activités de recherche portent sur
- L’évaluation de la capacité d’encapsulation des cyclodextrines dans les milieux non conventionnels (solvants mixtes, solvants eutectiques profonds).
- Le développement des méthodes analytiques pour la caractérisation des complexes d’inclusion hôte/invité.
- Le développement des formulations binaires ou ternaires pour la rétention et la solubilisation des substances volatiles (COV, arômes, huiles essentielles),
- L’évaluation des activités biologiques des formulations.
