The CEISAM laboratory turns to green analytical chemistry
The MIMM team of the Laboratory has just designed an innovative method for isotope analysis at natural abundance, based on NMR (1).For the first time, this approach is evaluated according to the criteria of green analytical chemistry. The method developed by scientists from the MIMM team consists of using the 2D HSQC NMR sequence, modified...
Chemistry of life: an innovative analytical approach developed in Nantes
A research team (1) from the CEISAM laboratory (Chemistry and Interdisciplinarity: Synthesis, Analysis, Modelling – Nantes University/CNRS) has developed a new approach for studying biological samples using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). This breakthrough opens up a wide range of prospects, both in terms of analytical chemistry developments and applications in many other fields (personalized medicine,...
A new book on 2D NMR spectroscopy edited by CEISAM scientists
Two scientists of the MIMM team of the CEISAM laboratory have edited a book on fast 2D solution-state NMR, that was just published by the Royal Society of Chemistry. Written by active investigators in the field, this book describes state-of-the-art methods that can accelerate the acquisition of 2D NMR spectra in solution-state. The acquisition of...
A new console for isotopomic NMR
In the context of a collaboration between RS2D and Professor Serge Akoka’s group, new electronics have been installed on one of the 400 MHz spectrometers of the CEISAM NMR platform. This equipment (a Quad-C4 console), equipped with a 19F lock, will be dedicated to methodological developments in high precision quantitative NMR and in particular to...
Symposium CEISAM NMR
The CEISAM NMR platform will organise a half-day symposium on Thursday 8 June, in the afternoon, for a broad audience and notably its diverse users. On this occasion, Ewen Lescop from Université Paris-Saclay will give a presentation on his research, on protein-ligand interactions, and the dynamics of biomacromolecules in membranes. The day will further be composed...
Conference : Motomu KANAI
Motomu Kanai, a renowned Professor at the University of Tokyo, will be giving a lecture at the CEISAM laboratory (Marie Curie room) on Friday, April 14th at 3pm. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like to meet with him on April 14th. The lecture will focus on the chemoselective bioconjugation of...
Second edition of the ISI NucMed interdisciplinary school
Nantes is hosting the second edition of ISI NucMed (Interdisciplinary School In Nuclear Medicine). Co-organized with CEISAM, and supported by the integrative research cluster TransForMed, this event will be held from July 3 to 6, 2023. Over four days, 20 participants will deepen their knowledge in some of the main fields of nuclear medicine research,...
The CEISAM NMR platform obtains the ISO 9001 certification
Following an evaluation process conducted by AFNOR, the CEISAM NMR platform has obtained the ISO 9001 certification for its activity in the “Development and services in the field of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance”. This certification marks a commitment towards a continuous improvement approach in the service of its users. It is a recognition of the involvement...
Serge Akoka, professor at CEISAM, publishes a book on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).
“An introduction to NMR” is intended for scientific students (bachelor or master, Chemistry and Biology in particular), but also for medical and pharmacy students as well as non-specialist researchers. The content includes a phenomenological approach to the principles and various applications of NMR. The book includes many illustrations and analogies; the equations are there but...
