Jean-François BRIERE

Heterocycles team

BIOGRAPHY

CNRS senior research scientist in the Heterocycles team at laboratory COBRA (France), Jean-François Brière completed his PhD with Prof Guy Quéguiner (1998, France – heterocycles synthesis) and was a postdoctoral fellow with Prof Henk Hiemstra (1999-2001, the Netherlands – total synthesis) and Prof Istvan E. Markó (2001-02, Belgium, NHC in metallocatalysis) in collaboration with Rhodia Company. Recruited in 2002 (Caen Normandy University, France – Sulfur chemistry), J.-F. Brière is currently CNRS senior research scientist at laboratory COBRA (since 2007, Rouen Normandy University, France) and develops (organo)catalytic processes for the elaboration of bio-relevant chiral heterocycles.
