Géraldine GOUHIER

BIOGRAPHY

After a PhD in 1993, at Bordeaux University where she developed organotin chemistry on solid phase, she spent one year in NRC at Ottawa to study flash photolysis kinetics and fullerenes chemistry. After a second Master Degree in industrial extraction processes, she became lecturer at Rouen University in 1996. She worked 11 years on chemistry of difluoro(thio)phosphonates and solid phase chemistry. In 2007, she became Professor and created her research team called supported and supramolecular chemistry based on cyclodextrins and ionic liquids. In 2015, she joined the BioOrganic Chemistry team and developed MRI contrast agent based on cyclodextrins for diagnosis and theranostic, new biomimetic scavenger for neurotoxic organophosphorus agents, green catalysts and new supports for capture and release of metal and organic polluants. She has international collaborations with Japan, Canada, Morocco and Italy. In 2017, she became business manager of Carnot I2C Innovation in chemistry.
