The Mediterranean Institute of Biodiversity and Marine and Continental Ecology
IMBE's research is structured around 5 transversal thematic axis and 8 research teams
IMBE organizes its operational facilities around 5 technical departments
Training is, of course, the courses offered at the University (L, M, D) but also training through research (internships).
The dissemination of our scientific results is at the heart of our mission: it enables us to share and make research advances accessible to a wider audience. In addition to publications in specialist journals, the IMBE deploys a wide range of resources to popularise knowledge and make it understandable and attractive to a wide range of audiences. Through concrete actions and innovative tools, we are committed to bringing science closer to everyone, in order to establish an ongoing dialogue between science, research and the general public, especially young people.
My research is based on the chemistry of natural substances for authentication and enhancement. Characterisation of complex natural mixtures: volatile compounds (terpene derivatives of essential oils of aromatic plants), lipid fractions (seeds of fatty oil plants), solvent extracts of medicinal plants. The methodological contributions envisaged are based on the optimisation of protocols for obtaining targeted extracts through to the isolation of metabolites and their characterisation, hemisynthesis (obtaining new active ingredients), the determination of anti-oxidant activities, the metabolomics approach which consists of using chromatographic or spectral data and chemometric tools to classify samples or predict their chemical composition. This approach enables the authentication, quality analysis and traceability of natural products through the identification of chemical markers.
