Elsa Anselmi received her Ph.D. in organic chemistry from the University of Versailles under the supervision of Dr. C. Wakselman and Dr. J.-C.Blazejewski dealing with fluorine chemistry. She then joined the CEA Le Ripault working on the synthesis of deuterated polyimides and the CNRS in Lyon for a second postdoctoral position. In 2005, she obtained an assistant professor position at the University of Tours. Her research interests include the synthesis and reactivity of heterocycles. Since 2018, she integrated the Lavoisier Institute of Versailles to combine fluorine chemistry and methodology in heterocycles synthesis.

 Franck Denat is full professor of chemistry at the University of Burgundy in Dijon (France). He is the head of the “Institut de Chimie Moléculaire de l’Université de Bourgogne” since 2007. He received his PhD degree in Toulouse (France) in 1993 and then joined the University of Burgundy in Dijon in 1994 as a “Maître de Conférences”. In 1997-1998, he was delegated to the CNRS, earned a NATO grant and spent one year in UC Davis, CA (USA). He received the habilitation degree in 2003 and was appointed full professor in 2005. He was vice-president of the University of Burgundy for research between 2012 and 2016.

His research focuses on the synthesis and the chemistry of macrocyclic polyamines, the design and synthesis of multifunctional chelating agents and fluorophores for labeling biological vectors and nanoparticles for multimodal medical imaging. He is the author of 130 peer-reviewed publications and 13 patents. He was also co-founder in 2005 of Chematech® company, specialized in macrocyclic chelating agents, and he is still scientific advisor in the company. He is also strongly involved in education (head of a master degree from 2005 to 2014). He has supervised more than 20 PhD students and several post-docs.

 

Prof. Olga Hordhiyenko

 Recent results in the chemistry of vic-amidinobenzoic acid derivatives. Prospects in peptido-mimetic synthesis

Igor V. Komarov graduated with honors from Kyiv National Taras Shevchenko University, and holds presently a position of a Professor at the Organic Chemistry Department and Vice-Director of Institute of High Technologies. At the same time, Igor is a scientific advisor of Enamine.

The research work of Igor V. Komarov and his scientific group is carried out in diverse areas of science – medicinal chemistry, bioorganic chemistry, stereochemistry, theoretical chemistry, and catalysis. Synthesis of model molecules, unusual amino acids, including fluorine-substituted and peptides from them, conformationally restricted diamines and other building blocks for drug design are within Igor Komarov’s interests. During the last years, Igor Komarov works on design and synthesis of photoswitchable peptidomimetics, whose biological activity could be controlled with light. Igor V. Komarov received Georg Forster research award from Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (Germany) in 2015. This year he was awarded by the title “Honoured Scientist” by the Ukrainian Ministry of Science and Education.

Igor V. Komarov is the author of more than 130 publications (h-index 26).

 

Prof. Maria Oliveira

Maria Oliveira is titular professor at the Federal University of Ceará (UFC, Brazil). She obtained her MSc degree in Organic Chemistry (Natural Products area) at UFC and her DSc in Chemistry (Organic Synthesis area) at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP, Brazil). Her post-doctorate was at the University of Arizona under the supervision of Dr. Leslie Gunatilaka. She was director (2009/2010) of the Natural Product division from the Brazilian Chemical Society. Currently, she is awarded with the Research Productivity Scholarship (level 2) from the Brazilian funding agency CNPq. Her research interest is in Natural Products (especially Chemistry of Microorganism) and Biocatalysis. She has published more than 80 scientific papers, including 4 review articles, besides 3 book chapters.

 

Prof. Gilles Lemercier

Linear and two-photon absorption access to excited-states of 1,10-phenanthroline derivatives and related Ru(II) (nano-)edifices

Gilles Lemercier (ORCID: 0000-0002-6889-7059) is full professor in chemistry at the University Reims Champagne-Ardenne (URCA) since 2008. He is a chemical engineer ENSC-Rennes and did his thesis at the Laboratory of Coordination Chemistry of Toulouse (1991-1994) in the field of bio-inorganic chemistry and the spin conversion of original Fe(II) complexes. After several postdoctoral internships in Switzerland (organometallic chemistry and asymmetric synthesis), he was recruited as an assistant professor in 1998, at the Chemistry Laboratory of the “Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon” (ENS-Lyon), to work on coordination complexes for nonlinear optics (2nd and 3rd order) and more particularly the two-photon absorption phenomena. He supported his HDR in 2004 and since 2008, as Professor at URCA, he continues the development of new (nano-)edifices based on coordination complexes for potential applications in the fields of optical limitation, optical and/or magnetic imaging and Photo-Dynamic Therapy (PDT), or even two-photon induced PDT. He is the co-author of 70 peer-reviewed publications.
