The September issue of L’Actualité Chimique looks back on the great success of the 36th JIREC, held from 27 to 30 January in Sète around the theme “Chemistry, ecological transition and sustainable development”. The event brought together more than 150 participants from across France and Senegal for three days of conferences, workshops and discussions focusing […]
Founded in July 2026, the start-up HyriaMed emerged from research carried out within the Polymers for Health and Biomaterials (PHBM) team at the Institut des Biomolécules Max Mousseron (IBMM). HyriaMed is developing PEASY, an innovative medical device for urine collection without skin adhesives, designed to improve the comfort and autonomy of men with urinary incontinence. […]

Period: 6 months from January/February to June/July 2027Internship supervisors: Dr Penthip Muangkaew and Dr Cécile EchalierContact: team: IBMM Peptides www.ibmmpeptide.comInternship location: IBMM, Pole Chimie Balard, 1919 Route de Mende, Montpellier, France. Summary 3D organoids and tumoroids derived from patient cells have emerged as a powerful alternative to 2D cultures and animal testing. Because cell-matrix […]
6-month internship (M2/3A) – Peptide chemistry, SAR – Starting January-February 2027 Scientific background By 2050, the global population is expected to approach 9 billion, increasing pressure on agricultural production. Crop protection still relies heavily on conventional insecticides such as neonicotinoids and pyrethroids, whose poor selectivity raises major concerns for biodiversity, ecosystems and human health. Their […]
Key words: polymers, hydrogels, drug delivery, women’s health, endometriosis, ultrasounds CONTEXT Endometriosis affects approximately one in ten women of reproductive age, yet treatment options remain very limited and are often associated with significant side-effects or invasive surgery. Novel biomaterials and drug delivery technologies have the potential to transform the management of this chronic disease. PROJECT […]
How can cancer cells be prevented from leaving the primary tumour to form metastases? This is the challenge tackled by Jean-Marie Ramirez, Associate Professor in the Photobiology and Oncopharmacology team at IBMM. In an interview with ON HEALTH, he presents an innovative implant designed to capture circulating tumour cells before they can colonize other organs. […]
Metal-Free Active Template Recognition: A Straightforward Route to Molecular Shuttle [2]Rotaxanes Containing Two Conjugated Molecular Stations within an Aminopyridinium Motif Active template recognition is a strategy that enables the synthesis of rotaxanes devoid of formal recognition sites. Stabilization of the transition state by the macrocycle accelerates the formation of the molecular axle within the macrocyclic cavity, at […]
The assistant engineer will have the main mission of characterizing, purifying, and quantifying biomolecules using the state-of-the-art techniques available on the Synbio3 platform of the (IBMM – UMR 5247). He or she will be responsible for the technical and logistical management of the analytical instrumentation facilities while actively contributing to the organization and optimization of the […]
Carrying out chemical reactions without solvents and with reduced waste is the promise of mechanochemistry. The Green Chemistry and Enabling Technologies team at the Institut des Biomolécules Max Mousseron proposes using artificial intelligence–driven optimization methods to accelerate the development and implementation of these reactions activated by mechanical energy. This work was partly carried out in […]
