The interests of the group span a wide range of topics in the fields of synthetic organic chemistry and chemical biology, all of them being grounded on molecular innovation. Our works involve the exploration of new chemical spaces as well as the development of synthetic tools or analytical methods for studying and / or interfering with biological regulatory mechanisms. Our research activities are organized around two main axes:
RNA ligands: chemical spaces, probes and analytical methods
