This theme, initiated by J. Legros at his arrival at the COBRA laboratory, has been strongly reinforced on Rouen site in 2020 by the establishment of the \" Autonomie Pharmaceutique Industrielle (Pharmaceutical Industrial Autonomy)\" project supported by the french State and the Normandy region. The API project gathers researchers from the SynBioF team (Philippe Jubault, Thomas Poisson) and from the MESOO team (Julien Legros). This has led to the implementation of the NormandyFlowChem platform which is, at the moment, the most important academia platform dedicated to continuous flow synthesis in France. The project-team has since been reinforced by the arrival by CNRS transfer of Dr. Laetitia Chausset-Boissarie (MESOO team).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-button-group stk-block-button-group stk-block stk-93627ab\" data-block-id=\"93627ab\"><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-button-group\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-button stk-block-button stk-block stk-f77ea6d\" data-block-id=\"f77ea6d\"><style>.stk-f77ea6d , .stk-f77ea6d .stk-button{width:100% !important;}.stk-f77ea6d {flex:1 0 var(--stk-button-group-flex-wrap, 0) !important;}.stk-f77ea6d .stk-button{background:#cf2e2e !important;}.stk-f77ea6d .stk-button .stk--inner-svg svg:last-child{height:26px !important;width:26px !important;}<\/style><a class=\"stk-link stk-button stk--hover-effect-darken\" href=\"https:\/\/normandyflowchem.univ-rouen.fr\/en\/notre-equipe\/\"><span class=\"stk--svg-wrapper\"><div class=\"stk--inner-svg\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 640 512\" aria-hidden=\"true\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\"><path d=\"M192 256c61.9 0 112-50.1 112-112S253.9 32 192 32 80 82.1 80 144s50.1 112 112 112zm76.8 32h-8.3c-20.8 10-43.9 16-68.5 16s-47.6-6-68.5-16h-8.3C51.6 288 0 339.6 0 403.2V432c0 26.5 21.5 48 48 48h288c26.5 0 48-21.5 48-48v-28.8c0-63.6-51.6-115.2-115.2-115.2zM480 256c53 0 96-43 96-96s-43-96-96-96-96 43-96 96 43 96 96 96zm48 32h-3.8c-13.9 4.8-28.6 8-44.2 8s-30.3-3.2-44.2-8H432c-20.4 0-39.2 5.9-55.7 15.4 24.4 26.3 39.7 61.2 39.7 99.8v38.4c0 2.2-.5 4.3-.6 6.4H592c26.5 0 48-21.5 48-48 0-61.9-50.1-112-112-112z\"\/><\/svg><\/div><\/span><span class=\"stk-button__inner-text\"><strong>Our team<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-button stk-block-button stk-block stk-d13c685\" data-block-id=\"d13c685\"><style>.stk-d13c685 , .stk-d13c685 .stk-button{width:100% !important;}.stk-d13c685 {flex:1 0 var(--stk-button-group-flex-wrap, 0) !important;}.stk-d13c685 .stk-button{background:#cf2e2e !important;}.stk-d13c685 .stk-button .stk--inner-svg svg:last-child{height:26px !important;width:26px !important;}<\/style><a class=\"stk-link stk-button stk--hover-effect-darken\" href=\"https:\/\/normandyflowchem.univ-rouen.fr\/en\/laboratoires-associes\/\"><span class=\"stk--svg-wrapper\"><div class=\"stk--inner-svg\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 640 512\" aria-hidden=\"true\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\"><path d=\"M434.7 64h-85.9c-8 0-15.7 3-21.6 8.4l-98.3 90c-.1.1-.2.3-.3.4-16.6 15.6-16.3 40.5-2.1 56 12.7 13.9 39.4 17.6 56.1 2.7.1-.1.3-.1.4-.2l79.9-73.2c6.5-5.9 16.7-5.5 22.6 1 6 6.5 5.5 16.6-1 22.6l-26.1 23.9L504 313.8c2.9 2.4 5.5 5 7.9 7.7V128l-54.6-54.6c-5.9-6-14.1-9.4-22.6-9.4zM544 128.2v223.9c0 17.7 14.3 32 32 32h64V128.2h-96zm48 223.9c-8.8 0-16-7.2-16-16s7.2-16 16-16 16 7.2 16 16-7.2 16-16 16zM0 384h64c17.7 0 32-14.3 32-32V128.2H0V384zm48-63.9c8.8 0 16 7.2 16 16s-7.2 16-16 16-16-7.2-16-16c0-8.9 7.2-16 16-16zm435.9 18.6L334.6 217.5l-30 27.5c-29.7 27.1-75.2 24.5-101.7-4.4-26.9-29.4-24.8-74.9 4.4-101.7L289.1 64h-83.8c-8.5 0-16.6 3.4-22.6 9.4L128 128v223.9h18.3l90.5 81.9c27.4 22.3 67.7 18.1 90-9.3l.2-.2 17.9 15.5c15.9 13 39.4 10.5 52.3-5.4l31.4-38.6 5.4 4.4c13.7 11.1 33.9 9.1 45-4.7l9.5-11.7c11.2-13.8 9.1-33.9-4.6-45.1z\"\/><\/svg><\/div><\/span><span class=\"stk-button__inner-text\"><strong>Associated laboratories<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:26px\"><span style=\"color: #cf2e2e;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">The CARMeN institute<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The CARMeN Institute (Chimie Analytique et R\u00e9activit\u00e9 Mol\u00e9culaire en Normandie, Analytical Chemistry and Molecular Reactivity in Normandy), UMR 6064 created on 2025 January 1st, was constituted by the merging of the COBRA laboratory UMR 6014 (Mont-Saint-Aignan, Evreux and Madrillet sites) and the LCMT laboratory UMR 65O7 (Caen site). This new laboratory is, on 2025 January 1st, one of the most important in France for organic and analytial chemistry. Its staff is composed of around 110 permanent employees (researchers, lecturers, professors, and supporting personnel) along with around 100 PhD students, 50 post-doctoral researchers, 15 fixed-term supporting personnel employees and 15 graduate interns.
