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.”
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, 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...
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 (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...
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...
Axelle BERROU, PhD student in CEISAM SYMBIOSE team, will defend his thesis entitled “Synthesis of new inhibitors of protein targets, fighting emerging viruses” on December 16th 2025 at 02:00 pm in LS2N amphitheater.
It is with great sadness that we learned of the passing of Jean-Nicolas Dumez on August 18, 2025. Aged 41, he had been a researcher at the CNRS since 2013 and joined CEISAM five years later. Jean-Nicolas Dumez, studented at the ENS in Lyon from 2004 to 2008 and got the « agrégation » physical sciences, before...
Federico ZIZZI, PhD student in CEISAM IMF team, will defend his thesis in english entitled « Tuning the Internal Structuration of Photoactive Organic Nanoparticles for Improved Photoswitching at the Nanoscale » December 10th 2025 at 1:45 pm in CEISAM’s conference room « Marie Curie ».
