Thierry Durand studied chemistry at University of Paris VI, then moved to Montpellier and received his PhD degree at University of Montpellier I in 1990. After a postdoctoral training at FIT in Melbourne, USA, Thierry became Chargé de Recherche CNRS at Montpellier in 1991. He finished his Habilitation in 1996 and became Directeur de Recherche CNRS in 2002. Thierry is Director of the am "Synthesis of Bioactive Lipids" (SLB) at IBMM, Montpellier. His research interests include the total synthesis of oxygenated cyclic and non cyclic metabolites of PUFAs, mainly isoprostanoids, as well as dihydroxylated PUFAs, branched fatty acids (FAHFA)s, lipophenols, lipopeptides, lipooxadiazolones and targeted lipidomics on isoprostanoids (NEO-PUFAs) in human, animal, vegetable and algal matrices. Thierry is developing collaborations all over the word in the different fields linked to oxidative stress, biomarkers and all the biomolecules mentioned above.
