Devant le succès rencontré lors des premières Journées Méditerranéennes des Jeunes Chercheurs, les clubs des jeunes sociétaires du Languedoc-Roussillon et PACA de la Société Chimique de France s'associent à nouveau pour organiser la seconde édition de cet événement qui aura lieu les 13 et 14 octobre prochains à Marseille.
Ces journées, qui précéderont la journée de la Division de Chimie Organique de la Société Chimique de France, seront l'occasion pour les jeunes chercheurs de venir présenter leurs travaux. Trois conférences plénières de chercheurs reconnus accompagneront cet événement qui donnera une vision globale de la recherche en PACA et Languedoc-Roussillon, l'objectif étant de favoriser les échanges entre les différents laboratoires et entreprises de ces deux régions.

Title: Photochemical Organocatalytic Processes
My research aims to exploit the potential of Asymmetric Organocatalysis, where an inorganic element is not part of the active principle, to find cost-effective, environmentally benign, and sustainable synthetic methods to assemble diverse and medicinally relevant chemical structures.
My current scientific interests lie on the discovery and mechanistic elucidation of new asymmetric organocatalytic processes that address unsolved problems in synthetic methodology. The final aim is to develop environmentally friendly and innovative catalytic methods that will find widespread use in organic synthesis.

Title : From a molecule to an odor
Although, much progress has been made towards understanding the molecular basis of olfactory perception, many questions remain unanswered. We mainly use computational approaches to gain informations on the mechanistic event underlying perception of odors. Molecular dynamics simulations are peformed to understand the atomic-level properties of Odorant Binding Proteins and Olfactory Receptors.

Title: Synthesis of new cyclopentane derivatives as novel odorants
Enlarging our perfumers’ palette with ‘Captives’ (proprietary molecules : innovative, novel and patented molecules), is fundamental to propose unique flavors and fragrances to our clients. Hence, our various research programs are aimed at synthesizing new compounds with widely different structures to find interesting raw materials in each fragrant family, or even molecules possessing a new olfactory profile.

Title: Semisynthetic Artemisinin: Path to Industrial Production
A new commercial-scale alternative manufacturing process to produce a complementary source of artemisinin to supplement the plant-derived supply is described by conversion of biosynthetic artemisinic acid into semisynthetic artemisinin using diastereoselective hydrogenation and photooxidation as pivotal steps. This process was accepted by Prequalification of Medicines Programme (PQP) in 2013 as a first source of nonplant-derived-artemisinin in industrial scale from Sanofi production facility in Garessio, Italy.
