Biography
Emmanuelle Rémond defended her Ph.D. in 2010 under the supervision of Pr. Jugé at the Université de Bourgogne (Dijon, France) on the Wittig reaction in amino acid series and P-chirogenic phosphorus chemistry. She completed her research training through an internship with Pr N. Chatani and Pr. H. Sasai in Osaka, and a postdoctoral fellowship in the team of Pr. K. Maruoka in Kyoto in 2011. During this period her research focused on the catalyzed borylation of unactivated nitriles, and on asymmetric organocatalysis using P-chirogenic phosphines as Lewis bases and chiral primary diamines, respectively. In 2012, she was appointed assistant professor at the University of Bourgogne, and then associate professor in 2013 at the University of Montpellier. She is working at the Institut des Biomolécules Max Mousseron in the team of Dr. Florine Cavelier, where she develops methods to access new heterosubstituted amino acids and their uses for peptide labeling either by fluorescence or for TEP imaging. In this field, she has recently investigated peptide labeling with fluorescent phospholes by direct grafting through the formation of Phosphorus-heteroatom bond. This work is characterized by 28 publications, 3 intern. patents and an H-index of 14.
