CEISAM Institute
Research institute in Molecular Chemistry
UMR CNRS 6230
The CEISAM Institute (Interdisciplinary Chemistry: Synthesis, Analysis, Modelling) was founded in 2008, in order to structure Nantes Molecular Chemistry (theoretical chemistry, organic / organometallic synthesis, analytical chemistry & physicochemistry).

Chemistry and vectorology: a happy marriage!
On the occasion of O’Tablo (a scientific event by Nantes Université), researchers from the CEISAM and TaRGeT laboratories illustrated how chemistry can enhance AAV viral vectors used in gene therapy. By finely modifying their surface with targeting molecules, it becomes possible to more precisely address specific tissues such as the retina or the brain. These...
Nuit Blanche des Chercheur·es
“Nantes University and Stereolux are joining forces once again to present “la nuit blanche des chercheur.es”, a free event at the crossroads of art and research. This evening of scientific mediation brings together the public and researchers from all fields around discoveries and exchanges, driven by an original theme that always arouses everyone’s curiosity. To...
CARES ANR project led by Denis Jacquemin
The CARES project, led by Denis Jacquemin, aims to extend and diversify the QUEST database so as to provide ultra-high-precision reference data for excited-state calculations. CARES is a theoretical chemistry project aiming to provide a large and diverse database of chemically-accurate reference values for excited-state calculations. Building on the experience of the two groups involved...

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.
