Looking for a PhD position? Curious about the chemistry of primitive lipids and membranes? We are looking for a motivated PhD student interested in prebiotic, systems and/or supramolecular chemistry! Deadline: Jan 4th, 2024! findaphd.com/phds/project/p… Cambridge Biochemistry FindAPhD

Sending off Robert Mayer to his, amazing to be sure, independent career: rjmayerlab.com Great scientist, colleague, and friend!

2024 starts well! Check out our new article in J Org Chem/Org Lett : a not so little parenthesis on catalysis at the origin of life to investigate a new aza variant of the Piancatelli rearrangement using sulfoximines as nucleophiles. Thanks Milena, Joseph Moran & especially David Leboeuf #ECR

To reconstruct the origin of metabolism, conditions where multiple metabolic subnetworks can work together must be identified. Here, hydrogen gas drives nonenzymatic analogs of amino acid biosynthesis and the reverse Krebs cycle together in one pot without human intervention.

Last Friday was the end of a beautiful chapter of my life. After 3.5 years of science & fun, I finally completed my PhD! Thanks Gregoire Danger @JessenLab & Claudia for evaluating my work. Thanks Joseph Moran, David Leboeuf & all group members who made the lab a 2nd home 🎉

My group is looking for a postdoc, with a lot of flexibility on topic and starting date. Skills in molecular chemistry would fit, but this person might reinforce our expertise in vesicles or strong coupling: such backgrounds may also fit. For info: euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/231777

If you have a background in colloidal chemistry and wish to expand your expertise in catalysis! Do not hesitate to contact me so we can submit a project together.

Strong showing from our lab at the #CSC2024 in Winnipeg, with three current members (Emilie Werner, PhD Joris Zimmermann Quentin Dherbassy and one alumnus (Harpreet).

Joris Zimmermann speaking in the Physical Organic symposium at #CSC2024 on the mechanism of a nonenzymatic phosphorylation of pyruvate to PEP, recently published in Chemical Science doi.org/10.1039/D3SC04…

Emilie Werner, PhD speaking in the Physical Organic Symposium at #CSC2024 on metal and ADP-promoted nonenzymatic phosphoryl transfer from acetyl phosphate to nucleotide diphosphate, recently published in J. Am. Chem. Soc. doi.org/10.1021/jacs.3…

Emilie Werner, PhD giving a second talk, this time in the organic session at #CSC2024 on the synthesis of cyclopentenyl sulfoximines, published recently in J Org Chem/Org Lett doi.org/10.1021/acs.or…

Metabolic models for the origin of life predict NADH should reduce keto acids without enzymes. We found such reactivity is turned on by Fe(III) or Al(III) ions (again) and it's stereoselective! Full mechanistic study. Out in Chem. Congrats Robert Mayer! doi.org/10.1016/j.chem…

Ever wonder why nature uses coenzymes and what role they might have played before enzymes had emerged? Check out our mini-review Science Advances summarizing our recent work on the nonenzymatic reactivity of PL(P), NADH and ATP. Quentin Dherbassy Robert Mayer doi.org/10.1126/sciadv…

Delighted to share that I have been named one of the #FWIS2024 Fondation L'Oréal UNESCO 🏛️ #Education #Sciences #Culture 🇺🇳 French Young Talents in recognition of my scientific path ! A big congrats to the other 34 awardees ✨️ #ForWomenInScience

Hier, nos Jeunes Talents France #FWIS2024 ont captivé 450 élèves franciliens leur faisant découvrir les multiples opportunités des carrières scientifiques. À travers diverses discussions et activités, elles ont éveillé des vocations à la @CitedesSciences ! 📸 #ForGirlsInScience

Last week, I had the honour of being named one of the Young Talents France #ForWomenInScience 2024. I am deeply grateful to Fondation L'Oréal and UNESCO 🏛️ #Education #Sciences #Culture 🇺🇳 for this recognition and for supporting #WomenInScience. Congrats to the 34 other Young Talents ! #FWIS2024

If you want to know more about key mechanisms at the origin of a protometabolic reaction network and its complexification toward biochemistry, check out our latest review in ACR ACS Publications : pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… Big thanks to Emilie Werner, PhD, Shunjiro Sodei & Joseph Moran

Delighted to share a new series of the adventures of the unique metabolite phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP). Check out our latest paper from Joseph Moran just accepted in Angewandte Chemie on the study of alkene hydration, a key mechanism found in core metabolism: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…
