Denis Jacquemin, Professor at the CEISAM laboratory, has been appointed Fellow of Chemistry Europe, an association of 16 chemical societies from 15 European countries, including the SCF (Société Chimique de France). The title of Fellow is the highest distinction awarded by Chemistry Europe and recognises outstanding contributions as authors, reviewers and editors, as well as...
To mark the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, the CEISAM laboratory is taking action: Here, women explore, innovate, share knowledge, and advance science!
The project ELEC-TRICK is one of the five projects labelled ANR in 2025 and led by CEISAM laboratory. With ELEC-TRICK, Sebastien Gouin aims to develop an electrochemical method for grafting complex sugars onto proteins, viral vectors, and cells used in anticancer and gene therapy. Complex carbohydrates are relevant ligands for enhancing the pharmacological properties of...
The project SwitDream is one of the five projects labelled ANR in 2025 and led by CEISAM laboratory. With SwitDream, Vincent Coeffard aims to design photosensitizers from the rotaxane family for applications in antibacterial photodynamic therapy. The central challenge of the project is to control the heavy atom effect, which would enable selective activation of...
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...
“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...
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...
Estelle Lebègue will receive funding from Region Pays de la Loire for her SEEMI (Single-Entity Electrochemistry coupled to Microscopy Imaging) project thanks to the Rising Stars program, which aims to serve as a springboard to strengthen applications for European applications (ERC). In line with her theme of single-entity electrochemistry, Estelle would like to combine this...
CHEM-Symbiose platform is dedicated to the synthesis of small molecules. Since 2013, CHEM-Symbiose has been developing its expertise for its partners through its two activities: custom synthesis and/or research collaboration. Located at the CEISAM laboratory (UMR6230) at Nantes University, CHEM-Symbiose is certified by IBiSA, Biogenouest, and CNRS. Through its chemical library, CHEM-Symbiose is also a...
The project ChemAI is one of the five projects labelled ANR in 2025 and led by CEISAM laboratory. With ChemAI, François-Xavier Felpin aims to make AI-assisted chemical reaction optimization fully accessible to synthetic and process chemists by developing methods that are faster and more efficient with less experimental data. Chemistry, particularly synthetic chemistry, is undergoing...
