Vincent Corcé

Vincent Corcé has an education in biochemistry and medicinal chemistry. He obtained his PhD from the Université de Nantes in 2012 under the guidance of Prof. David Deniaud and Dr François Gaboriau developing new iron chelator for anti-cancer strategy. After that, he moved to a postdoctoral research fellowship with Prof. Eoin M. Scanlan at the Trinity College of Dublin. He worked on thiyl radical cyclization to gain access to thiosugars and thioglycals. In 2014, he joined the research group of Prof. Louis Fensterbank at the Université Pierre et Marie Curie (now Sorbonne Université) and worked on silicates photooxidation and explored their reactivity in radical chemistry and metallaphotoredox cross-coupling reaction. In September 2017, he has been appointed as an associate professor at the Institut Parisien de Chimie Moléculaire (IPCM). His research activity focuses on the synthesis and vectorization of new carbon monoxide releasing molecules (CORMs) for therapeutic purposes and the use of CORMs in carbonylation reactions. Since January 2025, he joined the research group of Prof. Louis Fensterbank at Collège de France. His research focuses on the development of new Lewis acids for the carbon-fluorine bond activation.
