The platform, financed by the Advanced Research Thematic Network (RTRA) "Agropolis Fondation" works in the framework of green and sustainable chemistry relying on our knowledge in the field of lipid biotechnology, polymer physico-chemistry and exploration & use of molecular biodiversity from plants for biomolecule, biomaterial and biofuel productions. As part of this platform, in the context of international projects, we place all the required tools and scientific support at your disposal for :

 

• The study of molecular diversity and characterization
  of lipids and hydrophobic macromolecules from plants,
  
  
• speciation of mineral compounds potentially associated.

 

The platform is based on analytical tools (A4F-MALLS-ICPMS, GC2DMS and LCMS), associated with the competences and the equipments of the hosting group (Agropolymer Engineering and Emerging Technologies - Microbiological and Enzymatic Biotechnology of Lipids and Agropolymers team). It also contributes to the development of the interface between plant sciences and the biotransformation of plant lipids and polymers.
