CNRS Chimie Emergence@International

Federico Perche, a researcher in the "MACS : Molecular Assemblies and Complex Systems" team, has been awarded CNRS Chimie Emergence@International.

He will be going to the United States to develop research collaborations in his field of mRNA and siRNA delivery.

During a 2-week stay, he will visit the Universities of San Diego (Pr Kwon and  Pr Shresta, Arizona (Dr Liu), Texas A&M (Dr Zhu) and Chicago (Dr Voth).

Federico has started a collaboration with Dr Shresta on mRNA vaccination and is looking to develop new collaborations.

Radio Campus Orléans broadcast “Astrobiology, search of life on Mars”

Astrobiology investigates the origin of life, the conditions and processes that support or challenge life, and whether life exists or has ever existed elsewhere in the Universe.

In this broadcast for Radio Campus, Tetyana Milojevic talks about Mars-relevant biosignatures, antient forms of life on Earth, microbial survival outside the International Space Station and other space life science investigations at CBM.

2024 edition of “The Future of Molecular MR” international conference

The "Metal complexes and MRI" group of CBM is organizing the 2024 edition of "The Future of Molecular MR" meeting in Orléans which will gather 120 participants from over the world.

The objectives of this international conference are to establish current state of the art in molecular MR and pinpoint knowledge gaps, to identify adjacent technologies that can be combined with molecular MRI to create more accurate, ensitive, rapid and quantitative methods, and to bring leaders from different fields to challenge orthodoxy and identify new opportunities in molecular MR.

The meeting will take place in Hotel Dupanloup, Orléans, 17-20 June 2024.

Professor Vincent L. Pecoraro of the University of Michigan is invited at the CBM from May to July 2024 through a LE STUDIUM Research Professorship

Professor Pecoraro is internationally recognized for his major contributions in bioinorganic chemistry, notably on the role of manganese complexes and clusters in photosynthetic water oxidation. He is also a pioneer in the design of metalloenzyme mimetics and in the study of metallacrown complexes with unique magnetic and/or luminescence properties for developments in medical imaging, a field in which several patents have recently been filed with the team “Luminescent lanthanide compounds, optical spectroscopy and bioimaging” from the CBM.

In 2021, he received an honorary doctorate from the University of Aix-Marseille and a LE STUDIUM Research Professorship (Loire Valley Institute). In addition, Professor Pecoraro is the 2021 recipient of the Franco-American award from the American Chemical Society and the “Société Chimique de France”.

He is one of the co-founder of the startup VIEWaves founded in Orléans in March 2022 that aims at the commercialization of the optical imaging agents emitting in the near-Infrared domain created on the basis of the collaborative work conducted with the team at CBM.
