A special issue of the journal Tetrahedron on the Chemistry of Foldamers edited by IECB researchers
This Tetrahedron Symposium-in-print, edited by Ivan Huc and Gilles Guichard, reflects the chemists’ creativity and the breadth of research in the field of foldamers, i.e. artificial folded molecular architectures inspired by the structures of biopolymers. It contains 26 original papers authored by contributors from Australia, China, France, Hungary, India, Italy, Korea, Japan, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the USA. Many of the results described in these papers were presented at the Bordeaux 2012 Symposium on Foldamers co-chaired by Ivan Huc and Gilles Guichard at IECB in January 2012 and organized in the frame of a COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) action (see http://foldamer.org/ ) |

10 days at IECB in the frame of a Lisbon-Bordeaux Interbio project
In January 2012, Sofia Carvalho spent 10 days at the Institut Européen de Chimie et Biologie (IECB) in Bordeaux. This post-graduate student from Lisbon tested a protein involved in cancer against an aptamer developed by the Jean-Jacques Toulmé’s team at IECB. She tells us more about this Interbio-funded collaborative project…

Faces of Sciences
Since 2003, Cap Sciences has been editing every year 40 portraits of researchers from Aquitaine. In 2011, two IECB group leaders participated in this science promotion initiative entitled “Faces of Sciences”: Elisabeth Génot (Inserm U1053) et Sébastien Fribourg (Inserm U869). 80 000 copies of their portraits, edited as bookmarks, will be disseminated over 2012 in schools, libraries and laboratories of Aquitaine.

Two covers on podosomes in a row!
For the past 10 years, the IECB team led by Elisabeth Génot has endeavored to capture podosomes, small actin cellular structures, using video and confocal microscopy.
In February and March 2012, the journal Molecular and Cellular Biology and the European journal Cell Biology took pictures from her recent articles to illustrate their cover.
