Dr. Pierre Milbeo

Chemistry
CY Cergy Paris University

Pierre Milbeo is an Associate Professor of Organic Chemistry at CY Cergy Paris Université. His research laboratory, BioCIS (Biomolécules: Conception, Isolement, Synthèse), is dedicated to the synthesis and application of biomolecules. Pierre studied chemistry in both France and Scotland, ultimately earning his PhD in biomolecular engineering from the University of Montpellier. His early academic career led him to Trinity College Dublin, where he developed an interest in photochemistry, and later to INSA Rouen Normandie, where he explored organic electrosynthesis and collaborated closely with the pharmaceutical industry. His primary research interests revolve around the development of novel, sustainable synthetic methodologies for the creation of complex molecules with precise atom arrangement in space. To achieve this objective, he leverages his expertise in peptide engineering, asymmetric organocatalysis, and fluorine chemistry.
