CEISAM Institute
Research institute in Molecular Chemistry
UMR CNRS 6230
The CEISAM Institute (Interdisciplinary Chemistry: Synthesis, Analysis, Modelling) was founded in 2008, in order to structure Nantes Molecular Chemistry (theoretical chemistry, organic / organometallic synthesis, analytical chemistry & physicochemistry).

ChemAI ANR project led by François-Xavier Felpin
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...
MetaHyp ANR project led by Patrick Giraudeau
The project MetaHyp is one of the five projects labelled ANR in 2025 and led by CEISAM laboratory. With MetaHyp, Patrick Giraudeau aims to develop new ultra-sensitive NMR approaches for metabolomics, by developping new analytical approaches based on dynamic nuclear polarization, applied to the detection of biomarkers of clinical pathologies. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy...
Estelle Lebègue awarded an Emergence@INC 2026 project
With her project SEEAFM, Estelle Lebègue, a lecturer-researcher at the CEISAM laboratory, has been selected as a laureate of the Emergence@INC 2026 call for projects. Through this scheme, CNRS Chemistry supports researchers—research fellows or associate professors recruited within the past 5 to 10 years—by funding innovative projects and encouraging scientific risk-taking. The SEEAFM project aims...

Our research teams
This Institute is organized into five research teams covering coherent areas of activity but which are based on different and highly complementary segments, giving rise to original transversal projects.
On the basis of fundamental and specific expertise, CEISAM is positioned in a certain number of niches of excellence at the interface with the fields of Health, Food chemistry and Materials, through privileged interactions at regional, national and international levels.
Platforms and equipment
To support our research activities, the CEISAM Institute owns many specialist equipments.
These instruments and equipment chains, sometimes intégrated into platforms, aim to synthesize, model, prepare and characterize organic or hybrid items. The European Union, the CNRS and the "Pays de la Loire" region have largely contributed to co-financing these platforms and equipments in particular in NMR, Mass Spectrometry, Molecular Modeling, Optical spectroscopies and microscopy.
