Véronique started her independent research career at the University of Oxford in 1998 in the Department of Chemistry and was promoted to Professor of Chemistry in 2008. She took a position of Maître de Conférence at the University Louis Pasteur in Strasbourg (France) during this period, she worked with Dr Charles Mioskowski and was Associate Member of the “Institut de Science et d'Ingénierie Supramoléculaires” led by Professor Jean-Marie Lehn. In 1992, she moved to a postdoctoral position with Professor Richard Lerner at the Scripps Research Institute (California, USA). Véronique Gouverneur obtained a PhD in chemistry at the Université Catholique de Louvain (LLN, Belgium), under the supervision of Professor Léon Ghosez. She received the CNRS Bronze Medal in 2022. She is co-inventor of two patents, and co-author of four book chapters published by Wiley. Benedetti is co-author of 30 publications appeared in peer-reviewed journals. Benedetti’s current research projects focus on different aspects of paracyclophane chemistry: the control of the planar chirality of these objects, the selective functionalization of their aromatic core, the modulation of their spectroscopic behavior, and the application of these compounds in different research fields (asymmetric catalysis, and bioorganic chemistry). The interests of the group span a wide range of topics in the fields of synthetic organic chemistry and chemical biology, all of them being grounded on molecular innovation. Micouin (UMR8601 - Université Paris Cité). In 2014, after being successful to the CNRS entrance exam, she was appointed as junior researcher in the team of Dr. In this occasion, she acquired strong skills in asymmetric catalysis, and became familiar with different types of large biological molecules and supramolecular interactions. There, she had the possibility to work on projects dealing with the development of bio-hybrid supramolecular catalytic systems involving the use of DNA or RNA sequences as chiral inductors in nucleophilic addition reactions. In 2013, she moved back to France to perform a second postdoctoral training in the laboratory of Prof. Benedetti gained competence in fluorophore chemistry and spectroscopic characterization (UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy). Her projects at the University of Pittsburgh (USA) have been focused on the synthesis and photophysical study of naphthalene-based solvatochromic dyes. Brummond as a postdoctoral research associate.

Benedetti has been involved in projects aiming at preparing heterocyclic molecules using transition metal-catalyzed cyclisation reactions, with a particular focus on gold-catalyzed cycloizomerizations. She performed her doctoral studies at the University of Insubria, in co-tutorship with the Sorbonne Université, under the supervision Prof. She studied at the University of Insubria (Italy) where she obtained a master’s degree in Chemistry in 2008. He has co-founded two companies that use technologies he developed in his lab, serves as an advisor / scientific board member of several companies and recently became a Senior Fellow at Flagship Pioneering.Įrica Benedetti was born in Como (Italy) in 1984. His research group interests focus on the use of chemistry principles to tackle challenging biological problems for understanding and fight cancer. Gonçalo is the recipient of two European Research Council grants a starting grant and a proof-of-concept grant, and was awarded the Harrison–Meldola Memorial Prize in 2016 from the Royal Society of Chemistry, the 2020 Young Chemical Biologist Award from the International Chemical Biology Society (ICBS) and recently the Blavatnik Award for Young Scientist in the UK – Finalist in Chemistry.

In 2018 he was appointed University Lecturer (Tenured), and he has been promoted to Reader (Associate Professor) in 2019 and to Full Professor in 2022. He started his independent research career in 2013 at the University of Cambridge as a Royal Society University Research Fellow. in 2008 at the University of Oxford, U.K., he undertook postdoctoral work at the Max-Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces, Germany, and the ETH Zürich, Switzerland, and worked as a Group Leader at Alfama Lda in Portugal.
