Sébastien Ulrich has been awarded the Jean-Marie Lehn Prize from the French Chemical Society – Organic Chemistry Division (SCF-DCO), a major distinction in the field of supramolecular chemistry. This prize recognizes his outstanding contributions to supramolecular bioorganic chemistry, particularly his work on the design of dynamic and adaptable chemical systems capable of ensuring the recognition, […]
Frédéric Lamaty from the Green Chemistry and Enabling Technologies Team will discuss the topic of mechanochemistry with journalist Natacha Triou on the radio program LA SCIENCE CQFD on France Culture. The live broadcast will air on March 5, 2026, from 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm. The episode will then be available as a podcast on […]
The CNRS is highlighting the work of Simon Galas’ team (in collaboration with Aymeric Bailly, our neighbor at the CRBM) following their recent publication in Science Advances. The study demonstrates that a tardigrade gene, Dsup, can be transferred into Caenorhabditis elegans, conferring increased resistance to oxidative stress and radiation. Remarkably, this protection is accompanied by a significant extension […]
A research engineer and head of the Synbio3 platform, Pascal Verdié is in the spotlight in a new episode of Rouages, the video series produced by the University of Montpellier. A chemical librarian at IBMM, responsible for the valorization of more than 4,000 compounds synthesized and characterized over thirty years of research, Pascal Verdié supports […]
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 […]
