Anne L’Huillier was in Nantes on Monday 30 March 2026 to give a lecture organised by the Université Permanente at Nantes Université. Winner of the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics, alongside Pierre Agostini and Ferenc Krausz, she was recognised for the development of experimental methods enabling the generation of attosecond light pulses and the study...
“Imperceptible” is the title of a shared conversation between Jean Le Peltier, actor and director, and Yann Pellegrin, a researcher at the CEISAM laboratory, which took place on Thursday, March 19, at the Théâtre Universitaire (TU) in Nantes. Through direct experiences and historical accounts, this conversation revealed the gap between the narratives we construct about...
Jean-Michel Bouler, Professor at Nantes Université since 2005 and Director of the CEISAM laboratory since 2016, has been appointed Knight of the Order of the Academic Palms, a distinction that honors members of the educational community.For more than 20 years, his research has focused on the design, characterization, and functionality of hybrid biomaterials for medical applications. He teaches (bio)materials science to students at...
Aurélie Bernard, Research Engineer at the CEISAM Laboratory, is an ambassador for the “Science taille XX elles” exhibition, organized in the Pays de la Loire region by CNRS Bretagne and Pays de la Loire, Le Mans Université, Nantes Université, the University of Angers, and the association Femmes & Sciences. This exhibition highlights women working in...
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.
