Research laboratories in Chemistry
Research units in chemistry – chemical engineering
Here below are some details about CPE Lyon laboratories in chemistry and chemical engineering, associated with CNRS, Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 and INSA Lyon
They are organized in 4 departments:
- Organic chemistry
- Process engineering
- Biotechnology
- Analytical chemistry
Organic chemistry department
UMR 5246 / Supervision : UCB Lyon 1 – CNRS – INSA Lyon – CPE Lyon
Director : Olivier Piva
INSTITUTE OF MOLECULAR AND SUPRAMOLECULAR CHEMISTRY AND BIOCHEMISTRY (ICBMS)
The Institute of Molecular and Supramolecular Chemistry and Biochemistry (ICBMS) belongs to two departments of the CNRS, the Chemistry Department and the Life Sciences Department.
The ICBMS has 10 research teams and brings together around 170 people. Its work focuses on three main themes relating to both chemistry and biochemistry:
Synthesis, methodology and catalysis (four research teams)
> CASYEN: Catalysis, Synthesis and Environment
> COSMO: Organometallic Catalysis, Organic Synthesis and Methodology
> SMITh: Synthesis of Molecules of Therapeutic Interest
> SURCOOF: Synthesis, Uses and Reactivity of Organic and Organofluorinated Compounds
Biomolecules: synthesis, properties and assemblies (3 research teams)
> CO2GLYCO: Organic Chemistry 2 – GLYCO – SYSCHEM
> COB: Organic and Bioorganic Chemistry
> CSAp: Applied Supramolecular Chemistry
Biological and biomimetic membranes, biocatalysis (2 research teams)
> GEMBAS: Enzyme Engineering, Biomimetic Membranes and Supramolecular Assemblies
> ODMB: Organisation and Dynamics of Biological Membranes
Innovation in synthesis methodology enabling access to new molecular architectures, the identification of new drugs and new bioactive molecules, and understanding their mode of action are among the major concerns of the ICBMS teams.

Laboratory of Catalysis, Polymerization, Processes, and Materials (CP2M)
UMR 5128 / Supervising institutions : CPE Lyon-CNRS-Université Lyon 1
Director : Timothy McKenna
Deputy Director : Pascal Fongarland
The CP2M is organized into two teams:
- The MMAGICC team (Molecules, Advanced Materials, Process Engineering, Catalysis & Coordination)
- The PCM team (Polymers, Catalysis, Materials), under the triple supervision of the CNRS, Claude Bernard University in Lyon, and CPE Lyon.
This laboratory integrates expertise in molecules and processes, and in product formulation and end-use properties in the fields of catalysis, polymers, and advanced materials.
Laboratory of Automation, Process Engineering, and Pharmaceutical Engineering (LAGEPP)
UMR 5007 / Supervising institutions: UCB Lyon 1 – CNRS / Laboratory housed on the premises of CPE Lyon
Director: Stéphanie Briançon
Since its creation by Jacques BORDET in January 1988, LAGEPP has worked effectively to establish multidisciplinary research areas in automation, process engineering, and pharmaceutical engineering.
It has also ensured that researchers in these two disciplines continue to conduct high-level specific research to guarantee the quality of multidisciplinary research. Its objective is to continue along this path.
The objective of LAGEPP is to conduct multidisciplinary research on the one hand and to combine process engineering and pharmaceutical technology on the other.
The following areas of research are among the laboratory’s priority themes:
- Solid development
This area of research involves two major projects: coupled mass and heat transfer, and crystallization, agglomeration, and precipitation. The crystallization research project now includes work on species of pharmaceutical interest. - Transfers and reactions in physical chemistry and life sciences
Studies in this field concern pharmaco-technical engineering, modeling, particulate process control, colloidal physical chemistry, and polymerization in a dispersed medium. - Process modeling and control
This area deals with nonlinear systems and processes and process dynamics: models, model structures, and control.
BioFactory
CPE Lyon’s Bioproduction Platform for Research, Development, and Innovation. Its mission is to support companies and laboratories wishing to develop bioprocesses.
Industrial Analytical Chemistry Laboratory
The joint industrial analytical chemistry laboratory (LICCA), the result of a collaboration between CPE Lyon and the chemistry department of Claude Bernard Lyon 1 University, provides a variety of analytical studies using different techniques.
LICCA is a scientific collaboration between CPE Lyon’s LCAI analytical chemistry laboratory and the LAnCo analysis and control platform at the University of Lyon 1.
