Biography

After completing in parallel a M.Sc. in Chemistry and a Chemical Engineering diploma (2004) from the University of Clermont-Ferrand, France, Frederic moved to Scotland to do his PhD in Chemistry on asymmetric organometallic and organic catalysis under the supervision of Prof Pavel Kočovský at the University of Glasgow, UK.
He then transitioned to the field of Chemical Biology during his postdoctoral fellowship (2009-2014) in the laboratory of Prof Geert-Jan Boons at the Complex Carbohydrate Research Center (GA, USA), where he developed novel chemical probes for imaging the glycome in living cells.

In 2014, he obtained a Junior Chair position in Chemical Biology from the University of Bordeaux, France and a co-affiliated position at the European Institute of Chemistry and Biology in Bordeaux as a group leader. He was recently promoted to Associate Professor in Chemical Biology at the University of Bordeaux, France, co-affiliated to IECB and ISM UMR5255 (2021). 

Selected awards: CNRS ATIP-Avenir Award for outstanding young principal investigator (2017) | IdEx Bordeaux Junior Chair of Excellence in Chemical Biology Award (2014) | ACS Outstanding Postdoctoral Research Chemist Award (2012).
