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

Nantes research on astatine in the spotlight
Astatine (At) is the rarest chemical element on Earth, and its 211 isotope is very promising for applications in targeted radiotherapy of cancers. Progress in this approach depends on a better understanding of the chemistry of At. Researchers from the CRCINA, Subatech and CEISAM laboratories have published a 15-year review of their work in the...

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.
