Art at CEISAM!
Since the beginning of the year, CEISAM has been colorful with the installation of 3 pictorial works acquired and exhibited at CEISAM. These works were chosen by the UMR Board from the collection designed & exhibited by artist Philippe Naud: “L’incroyable et fabuleuse histoire de Chromo-Sapiens, de l’infiniment petit à l’infiniment grand” for the “Chemistry,...
Analytical chemistry: a new ultra-sensitive approach to metabolomics
Scientists from the CEISAM laboratory (Chemistry and Interdisciplinarity: Synthesis, Analysis, Modeling – Nantes University – CNRS) have developed a new approach for detecting metabolic biomarkers of clinical pathologies using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). This breakthrough in analytical chemistry, which opens up many new prospects for biomedical studies, has just been published in the Journal of...

Our research teams
This Institute is organized into five research teams covering coherent areas of activity but which are based on different and highly complementary segments, giving rise to original transversal projects.
On the basis of fundamental and specific expertise, CEISAM is positioned in a certain number of niches of excellence at the interface with the fields of Health, Food chemistry and Materials, through privileged interactions at regional, national and international levels.
Platforms and equipment
To support our research activities, the CEISAM Institute owns many specialist equipments.
These instruments and equipment chains, sometimes intégrated into platforms, aim to synthesize, model, prepare and characterize organic or hybrid items. The European Union, the CNRS and the "Pays de la Loire" region have largely contributed to co-financing these platforms and equipments in particular in NMR, Mass Spectrometry, Molecular Modeling, Optical spectroscopies and microscopy.
