Bio
Sylvie Moebs-Sanchez is Assistant Professor in INSA-Lyon and in ICBMS (UMR 5246) in Villeurbanne, France. After a PhD on the synthesis of oligoarabinofuranosides from Mycobacterium cell wall in Toulouse, post-doctoral studies were conducted, in Bristol (UK) with GlaxoSmithKline and Prof. Tim Gallagher on the synthesis of bicyclic -lactams. In 2005, she joined Dr Bourissou's group in Toulouse to first tackle the synthesis of monomers, then to investigate phosphine boranes as organocatalysts. Since 2007, she has been working on multi-step synthesis from bio-based alcohols such as carbohydrates, quinic acid, isosorbide, or HMF to prepare glycomonomers, glycolipids, organocatalysts, or new heterocyclic structures.

Research interests
I have been working on multi-step synthesis from bio-based alcohols such as carbohydrates, quinic acid, isosorbide, or HMF to prepare glycomonomers, glycolipids, organocatalysts, analogs of bioactive molecules or new heterocyclic structures while developing synthetic methodologies towards these various targets.
