If you want to know more about key mechanisms at the origin of a protometabolic reaction network and its complexification toward biochemistry, check out our latest review in ACR @ACSPublications : pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… Big thanks to @EmilieWerner7, @s_sodei & @MoranLabChem

Vibrational Strong Coupling changes regioselectivity, defies the Woodward Hoffmann rules and improves the properties of materials. Who knows, maybe it will even end up stopping famine and curing cancer? But how does it do it all? Not by changing nucleophilicity. ⬇️

The best way to start 2025!! 👏🥳 Have a look at our latest contribution published in @J_A_C_S where we make use of Dynamic Covalent Chemistry to selectively functionalize protein microenvironments containing Lys and Cys residues. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Ever wondered when coacervates appeared on early Earth and what they looked like? Think no more and have a look at our new preprint! Incredibly proud of @karinakinuyo and @mihoubi_nina for their incredible work, dedication and patience! 🤩 chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

We caught up with @djpleboeuf to discuss his recent article, "A povarov-type reaction to access tetrahydroquinolines from N-benzylhydroxylamines and alkenes in HFIP", and reflect on the anniversary of the journal Read the full interview on our blog 👉 buff.ly/40lLoRu

If you want to develop cool chemistry with HFIP, I have a postdoctoral position for you funded by @Servier ! Please RT

It is a long time due but, since August 2024, I am thrilled to head the team SupraCat @LIMA_UMR7042 I am thankful to all past members and colleagues who supported me over the past years. I also want to thank my new colleagues for the wonderful welcome, I feel already at home!😊

Last week, I had the honour of being named one of the Young Talents France #ForWomenInScience 2024. I am deeply grateful to @FondationLOreal and @UNESCO for this recognition and for supporting #WomenInScience. Congrats to the 34 other Young Talents ! #FWIS2024

Delighted to share that I have been named one of the #FWIS2024 @FondationLOreal @UNESCO French Young Talents in recognition of my scientific path ! A big congrats to the other 34 awardees ✨️ #ForWomenInScience

Ever wonder why nature uses coenzymes and what role they might have played before enzymes had emerged? Check out our mini-review @ScienceAdvances summarizing our recent work on the nonenzymatic reactivity of PL(P), NADH and ATP. @QDherbassy @RJ_Mayer doi.org/10.1126/sciadv…

Really pleased to see our contribution to the 60th Anniversary @ChemCommun ( a journal dear to my heart) just out! A new iteration of Povarov reaction to now include deactivated alkenes by using HFIP. Many congrats to Valentyn and Daniella! @MoranLabChem pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Just accepted in @angew_chem 🎉 Check out how we utilize carbodiimide hydration energy to drive Diels-Alder Equilibria #uphill! ⛰️ *Energy* well-spent indeed!! Thank you and congrats to all the team on this beautiful work 🥳

In Dublin, at @EuChemS_Congres

Excited about the prebiotic chemistry or biophysics of liposomes and coacervates? 🫧 Curious about our new research directions in Cambridge @CamBiochem? 🔮 Apply with us for a postdoctoral fellowship - many options available (check our website)! Contact me if interested 😊

Yesterday, the LCIM lab members, along with members of the institute, won the Daniel Martina football tournament. Congratulations to the team—you are now champions!🏆 @CNRSchimie @CNRS_Alsace @AlaCovas @Pousse_Benoit @Guilp_aka_Vald @georgette_ob @TanguyRieu @QuentinCombe9
