About Laurent
Trained as a pharmacist, I specialized in organic chemistry, more particularly in structural determination and semisynthesis from natural compounds. Following my recruitment as a lecturer, I then participated in projects in biological fields using peptide synthesis and conventional organic chemistry techniques. I have also been interested more recently in the study of the stability of active ingredients.
Research interests
Currently, I participate in medicinal chemistry research projects in the field of cancerology, with the design of small molecules aimed at inhibiting Casein Kinase 2.
