In the face of nearly 260 million malaria cases reported worldwide each year, the search for innovative treatments remains a major priority. Researchers from the NuEP team, led by Suzanne Peyrottes, have achieved a significant breakthrough with the synthesis of UA2239, a promising compound. Featuring a novel mode of action discovered by the team of […]
SPIMA Therapeutics, a biotech start-up born from a collaboration between the Max Mousseron Institute of Biomolecules (IBMM, CNRS/University of Montpellier/ENSCM), the Institute for Regenerative Medicine and Biotherapy (IRMB, Inserm/University of Montpellier), Landmark BioVentures AG, and Dr Mohamed Haitham Ayad, has just reached a major milestone by winning the prestigious national i-Lab 2025 competition, supported by […]
Contacted by journalist Valérie Greffoz from the highly respected science magazine Epsiloon, Frédéric Lamaty from the Green Chemistry and Enabling Technologies Team, together with other mechanochemist colleagues, contributed to an article explaining the importance of solvent-free chemistry and why it represents the future of synthetic chemistry. This detailed and well-documented investigation, including citations from peer-reviewed […]
Under the leadership of Magali Gary-Bobo, the IBMM team once again distinguished itself in an outstanding way during this event: Collective success: IBMM once again dominated the time challenge, winning the title of the fastest team. Individual distinction: Adrien earned an excellent second place, brilliantly representing the institute. Essential support for research: Beyond the athletic performance, […]
On Tuesday, November 18 at 7:00 p.m., Frédéric Lamaty, from the “Green Chemistry and Enabling Technologies” team, will give a public lecture on mechanochemistry at the Salle des Verrières in Saint-Gély-du-Fesc. Free admission — an event not to be missed to discover sustainable alternatives to traditional chemistry. Some questions that this lecture will address: What […]

Dsup, a tardigrade protein, extends the lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans by inhibiting mitochondrial respiration and enhancing resistance to oxidative stress. Tardigrades can survive extreme environments partly thanks to a protein called Dsup, which protects DNA from ionizing radiation and oxidative stress. Encoded by a unique tardigrade gene, the Dsup protein is largely unstructured but binds […]
Expert in molecular modeling and Research Director at IBMM, Nicolas FLOQUET has been appointed to Section 18, “Chemistry of Life,” of the CNRS National Committee.This appointment comes at a time when modeling and associated AI-based methods are playing an increasingly important role within the section. “I am very proud and honored to have been appointed […]
