LIMA Information

LIMA's overall scientific objective is to develop innovative methods in molecular chemistry in 3 areas: Exploratory research in synthetic organic chemistry: catalysis, organometallic chemistry, heteroelement chemistry (F, P, S, N, Si), heterocyclic chemistry, radical chemistry, redox chemistry, chemistry of hypervalent compounds, glycochemistry, supramolecular chemistry, physical chemistry. Exploratory research in biological chemistry: multivalence, enzymology, chemical tools for in situ photolabeling of target proteins, imaging, click chemistry, proteomics and metabolomics. Life Science applications: phytosanitary applications, medicinal chemistry, mechanisms of action of biological processes, natural substances, from isolation to total synthesis, design of molecular and supramolecular probes.
