Elodie Jagu

Elodie Jagu is a researcher at the Institut de Chimie de Clermont-Ferrand (ICCF), part of University Clermont Auvergne. She completed her PhD in Organic Chemistry at Université Paris Saclay in 2016 with a thesis on polyamine derivatives as antikinetoplastid agents.

Her research spans multiple disciplines in medicinal chemistry:

• Development of antiparasitic agents targeting kinetoplastid diseases (leishmaniasis, trypanosomiasis)
• Investigation of polyamine metabolism and transport systems as drug targets
• Design and synthesis of fluorescent probes for biochemical applications
• Innovation in DNA labeling techniques and epigenetic studies
• Exploration of protein-protein interactions for neuropathic pain management

Dr. Jagu's work demonstrates a strong interdisciplinary approach, bridging organic chemistry, biochemistry, parasitology, and pharmacology. Her recent publications show an expansion from traditional antiparasitic research into neuroscience applications and advanced biochemical methodologies.

She has established collaborations with multiple international research institutions including University of Birmingham, Sun Yat-sen University, and various French research centers across the CNRS network.

Dr. Jagu's research addresses critical challenges in infectious disease treatment and biochemical methodology development, with potential applications in drug discovery, diagnostics, and fundamental biological research.
