Catherine Lievre

Catherine Lievre serves as a Lecturer at the University of Picardy Jules Verne, affiliated with the Glycochemistry and Agroresources Laboratory (UR 7378 LG2A). Her work falls under the Chemistry for Sustainable Development research axis, focusing on environmentally conscious chemical methodologies.

Her primary research involves the functionalization of monosaccharides with emphasis on direct carbon-carbon bond formation while minimizing protective group steps. She develops synthetic routes to novel carbocyclic and heterocyclic compounds using chiral synthons (ene, yne, enyne, diene, triene types) via metathesis reactions and 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions. Key research domains include Organic Chemistry, Carbohydrate Chemistry, and Sustainable Chemistry, with strong applications in green synthesis methodologies.

Lieuvre operates within the Glycochemistry and Agroresources Laboratory, which integrates carbohydrate chemistry with sustainable resource utilization. The lab focuses on developing eco-friendly chemical processes for agroresource valorization, aligning with broader environmental sustainability goals in chemical research.
