Pr. Marc Lecouvey, Director of CB3S :
The CB3S UMR 7244 CNRS Bioorganic Chemistry, Biophysics and Biomaterials Laboratory is the only chemistry laboratory developing original research topics at the interface between chemistry, biophysics and biology in Northern Paris.
The laboratory develops molecular or macromolecular systems for healthcare applications, with systems for characterizing these new objects that are unique in the Ile de France region. At CB3S, chemists and physicists carry out collaborative fundamental research to gain new insights into complex chemical and biological phenomena, with analysis ranging from the molecule to the cell and organism. CB3S is also developing applied research in partnership with national socio-economic players in the fields of phosphorus-based active molecule discovery and vectorization, biosensors and biomaterials. The aim is to respond to public health issues such as cancer, neurodegenerative diseases and prosthetic infections, through a multidisciplinary approach to a single project.
The laboratory has a broad range of skills enabling it to:
- the design, synthesis and purification of molecules and macromolecules,
- the development of new methodologies for more eco-friendly processes
- the study and characterization of new molecular (nano)objects using original spectroscopic methods
- the study of biological response in different cellular models.
The CB3S laboratory has a wide range of instrumentation dedicated to this multidisciplinary research. High-performance equipment in liquid NMR (400 and 500 Mhz), optical spectroscopy (IR, UV-Vis, Fluorescence, Raman) and microscopy (AFM, SEM), combined with recognized scientific expertise in molecular chemistry and physical chemistry, and the chemistry of nano- and biomaterials, enable the development of original research projects in the healthcare field.
