CERMAV’s themes cover basic knowledge and use of biomass constituents, synthesis or biosynthesis of oligosaccharides, self-assembly of glycopolymers, and biosourced materials.
It is one of the leading laboratories in Europe in the field of Glycosciences. It is engaged on major themes at Chemistry-Physicochemistry-Biology interfaces, responding to major societal challenges in the fields of functional biomaterials with high added value for new technologies, human health and the valorization of biomass.
The Electrochemical and Analytical Biosystems team (BEA) and the Spectrometry, Interactions and Theoretical Chemistry team (SITH) are involved in PolyNat.
They mainly work on the development of biosensors and bio fuel cells, the design and (bio) functionalisation of nanostructures and methodological developments in the simulation of chemical reactions and excited states.
