Seminar : Cyril PORIEL
On Wednesday, November 26, at 10:30 a.m. in the Marie Curie room at Ceisam, Cyril Poriel (ISCR, Rennes) will give a seminar entitled “Pure Hydrocarbon Hosts for High Performance Phosphorescent OLEDs: A new molecular concept for Organic Electronics.”
A highly reactive chemical intermediate stabilised by weak interactions
Researchers at the CEISAM laboratory (CNRS/University of Nantes) and the Interdisciplinary Centre for Nanosciences in Marseille (CINaM, CNRS/Aix-Marseille University) have succeeded in stabilising a highly reactive reaction intermediate using weak intramolecular interactions. Known as the Meisenheimer complex, this negatively charged and highly reactive intermediate has long been recognised by chemists in aromatic nucleophilic substitution reactions....
Clémence Queffelec awarded the ARKEMA Prize from the Academy of Sciences
Clémence Queffelec, Senior Lecturer at Nantes University, at the Laboratory “Chemistry and Interdisciplinarity: Synthesis, Analysis, Modelling” (CEISAM), has been awarded the ARKEMA Prize by the French Academy of Sciences. The prize (€25,000), created in 2021, rewards decisive scientific advances in the development, characterisation, understanding or implementation of sustainable materials, i.e. materials whose life cycle and...
Conference: Christelle HUREAU
Following Lucas DE BIASI’s PhD defense, Christelle HUREAU (LCC, Toulouse) will give a seminar entitled: “Contribution of coordination chemistry to a better understanding of Alzheimer’s disease and to an improved design of drug candidates” on Thursday, November 13, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. in the LS2N auditorium. Christelle Hureau is the head of the “Alzheimer, Amyloids...
Pauline CRETIN: Collaboration US2B / AMaCC platform CEISAM
Pauline CRETIN (US2B; Molecular Engineering and Glycobiology Team) has defended her doctoral thesis entitled “Ecophysiology and importance of non-cyanobacterial marine diazotrophs (NCD)” on Friday, October 24, 2025. During her three years of doctoral research, Pauline studied diazotrophy using a model of non-cyanobacterial diazotrophic (NCD) bacteria. Monitoring of nitrogenase activity was carried out at the CEISAM...
CEISAM at the 2025 Science Festival
From 3rd to 13th October, the 2025 Science Festival took place with the theme ‘Intelligence(s)’ and once again, the CEISAM laboratory was there! Yann Pellegrin, accompanied by other members of the laboratory, ran a chemistry stand at the Science Village, focusing on silly mistakes in chemistry. They also visited the paediatric ward at Nantes University...
