Biography
Boris Vauzeilles is a CNRS Research Director and Director of the Institut de Chimie des Substances Naturelles (ICSN, CNRS, France). His research sits at the interface of organic chemistry and chemical biology, with a strong emphasis on the development of chemical tools to investigate biological systems at the molecular level.
His group designs reactive molecular probes and chemical reporters to study biological processes, with particular interests in bacterial detection strategies, diagnostic approaches, and the chemistry of disease-related reactive oxygen species and redox processes. His work combines synthetic chemistry with mechanistic insight to enable new ways of interrogating complex biological environments.
In parallel with his research activities, he is actively involved in supporting and structuring the chemical biology community. He is the founder and President of SCF-ChemBio, the Chemical Biology Division of the French Chemical Society, and serves as President of the International Chemical Biology Society (ICBS).
As a member of the Editorial Board of RSC Chemical Biology, he is committed to promoting rigorous, high-quality research and to supporting the journal as a platform for innovative and mechanistically grounded studies at the chemistry–biology interface.
