We are an organic group at ChimieParisTech, PSL University, working in the Institute of Chemistry for Life and Health Sciences (iCLeHS) within the Catalysis, Synthesis of Biomolecules and Sustainable Development team (CSB2D). Our primary focus is on the development of new catalytic reactions based on C–H bond activation. Our ultimate objective is to create a wide range of chemically transformative processes that can be effectively employed to accelerate the discovery of specialized molecules in diverse sectors, such as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials research.
