Fostering research excellence
La Reunion
Research centers or research group
LCSNSA’s main topic explores tropical biodiversity in the south-western
Indian Ocean and agri-industrial systems by studying their properties as part
of sustainable, innovative chemistry, linked to the tropical bioeconomy. Its
main objectives are :
(1) of pharmacology and cosmetics,
(2) colourings, pigments and flavouring,
(3)the environment and bioenergy, and
(4) chemical ecology.
Areas of expertise

GDR 3658 MEDIATEC : CHEMICAL MEDIATION IN THE
ENVIRONMENT – CHEMICAL ECOLOGY / NATIONAL
This research group (GDR) seeks to promote chemical ecology in
France, to foster a scientific community of biologists, ecologists
and chemists with an interest in marine and continental
environments, microorganisms, plants, invertebrates, insects and
mammals. It also addresses current scientific challenges through
global and transversal “omic”-type approaches, from genomics to
environmental metabolomics.
QUALIREG / REGIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL
Regional food industry cooperation network (50 partners) to
improve product quality and promote co-development in the
Indian Ocean area. Participation in continuing professional
education.
