报告人简介：

Janine Cossy did her undergraduate and graduate studies at the University Champagne- Ardenne in Reims (France), working on photochemistry under the supervision of Prof. J.- P. Pète. After a postdoctoral stay with Prof. B. M. Trost at the University of Wisconsin (USA),  she came back to Reims as CNRS Associate Researcher. In 1990,  she was appointed Professor  of   Organic Chemistry at  the   ESPCI   in Paris. Janine Cossy’s research  interests  focus  on  the  synthesis  of natural products and biologically active molecules   (mainly with   antitumoral and   anti-inflammatory   properties)   and   on the development of synthetic    methods    (enantioselective    reactions,    rearrangements, organometallics,   biocatalysis,   …   )   She is also interested in the vectorisation of antitumoral compounds toward the tumor in order to decrease their secondary effects.

Her research efforts have resulted in more than 575 publications and 19 patents. Among the awards, she received: the CNRS Silver Medal (France, 1996), the UK Royal Society Rosalyn Franklin International Lecturership awarded to internationally recognized women scientists (UK, 2005); the IUPAC 2019 Distinguished  Women   in Chemistry  or   Chemical Engineering (2019), the Lavoisier Medal from the French Chemical Society (2024). She  is  a member of Academia Europeae  (2012),   a member of the French Academy of sciences (2017) a member of the National Academy of Pharmacy (2022) and a member of the European Academy of sciences  (2026) .  In addition,  she was nominated Chevalier de l’Ordre National du Mérite in  1997 and promoted to Officier in 2018.  In 2013, she was nominated Chevalier de la Légion d’honneur and promoted to Officier in 2023. She was Organic Letters Associate Editor for   14  years and since   2023  she is Tetrahedron Associate Editor, and Molecular Chemistry, Associate Editor since 2025.

She is the co-funder of two companies: CDP-Innovation and Acanthe Biotech.
