Dominique Urban

Dominique Urban is a Researcher at the Université Paris-Saclay, affiliated with the Institute of Molecular Chemistry and Materials of Orsay (ICMMO - UMR 8182). Their work focuses on the synthesis of complex molecules for biological and environmental applications, particularly in the fields of glycochemistry, lipid chemistry, and post-translational modifications. Urban's research bridges organic chemistry with biochemical processes in bacteria and plants.

• Key Research Areas: Protein mycoloylation, bioorthogonal chemistry, glycoside synthesis, chitin conversion, oxidative stress sensors, and carbohydrate-protein interactions.
• Recent Publications: Highlights include studies on mycolate derivatives (2025), bioorthogonal trehalose probes (2024), and H2O2-responsive borinic acid systems (2022).
