The PhD student will be supervised at ICSN by Ewen Lescop (icsn.cnrs.fr/cv/lescop) and Gaetan Herbette and at Eurofins by Romuald Manca and Bintou Waggeh and will benefit from the support of other members of the teams on biochemical, NMR and structural biology aspects.
With a staff of nearly 140 people, ICSN (http://icsn.cnrs.fr) is the chemistry centre of the CNRS campus in Gif sur Yvette, 30 km south of Paris by train RER B. The Institute is located on the edge of the Paris-Saclay campus, which brings together nearly 15% of French research, and is an integral part of this new University. ICSN develops activities at the chemistry-biology interface, with natural substances as the object of study and main source of inspiration. ICSN is organised in four research departments and has important analytical platforms. The PhD thesis will be carried out within the NMR - Structural Biology and Chemistry team that is responsible for a high field NMR facility that is part of the national infrastructures Infranalytics and Frisbi.
