Last week, CEISAM welcomed four trainees from middle school (collège, 3ème), who came to find out about careers in chemistry and research with members of the laboratory. They were there from 24 to 28 February 2025, and each of them could learn about the various disciplines studied in the laboratory – despite the ongoing works!
Ewen Bodio Awarded the Junior Innovation Chair [2024-2029] by the Institut Universitaire de France (IUF) His research focuses on the design of photoactive molecules and their applications in medical imaging, therapy, and sustainable development through photocatalysis. Now joining the IUF and CEISAM, he will further his work on developing near-infrared (NIR) molecular probes. These cutting-edge...
Estelle Lebègue is part of the 2024 Rising Stars in Measurement Science, the special issue of ACS Measurement Science Au highlighting the early career researchers from across the globe breaking new ground in analytical chemistry. This special issue features a collection of open-access peer-reviewed papers from nineteen outstanding researchers who are the leaders in spectroscopy,...
Since the beginning of the year, CEISAM has been colorful with the installation of 3 pictorial works acquired and exhibited at CEISAM. These works were chosen by the UMR Board from the collection designed & exhibited by artist Philippe Naud: “L’incroyable et fabuleuse histoire de Chromo-Sapiens, de l’infiniment petit à l’infiniment grand” for the “Chemistry,...
Scientists from the CEISAM laboratory (Chemistry and Interdisciplinarity: Synthesis, Analysis, Modeling – Nantes University – CNRS) have developed a new approach for detecting metabolic biomarkers of clinical pathologies using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). This breakthrough in analytical chemistry, which opens up many new prospects for biomedical studies, has just been published in the Journal of...
It was with great sorrow and emotion that we learned of the death of Isabelle Beaudet on October 27. Aged 58, she was a teacher-researcher in the Chemistry Department and the CEISAM Laboratory. She came to Nantes to study for a DEA and then a PhD under Prof. J.-P. Quintard, and was recruited as a...
Patrick Giraudeau, member of the CEISAM laboratory and Professor at Nantes University, has been appointed Deputy Editor of Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry , one of the leading international journals in the field of magnetic resonance. Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry is an analytical chemistry journal for scientists in academia and industry who want to keep up-to-date...
The Division of Organic Chemistry of the French Chemical Society has awarded the “Jean-Pierre Sauvage” Young Researcher prize to Simon Pascal. His research stands out in the field of synthesis of “exotic” organic dyes and the modulation of their optical properties, particularly in the near-infrared range, opening up new perspectives in areas such as bio-imaging...
As a reminder, Morgane VACHER is pursuing a very promising career in the ModES team following her recruitment in 2019. She was awarded an ERC starting grant in 2022 and has co-authored more than 48 international publications and 6 book chapters. Morgane has also been invited to speak at some twenty leading international conferences. This...
Allen Joseph Bard, the pioneer and father of electrochemistry, passed away on February 11, 2024 in Austin, Texas. He was 90 years old and had a 63-year career at The University of Texas at Austin. For most of his students, postdoc and co-workers, he was the greatest electrochemist of several generations. He will be highly...
