Small molecules for big medicine | Raphael Rodriguez | TEDxUTCompiègne

"And one can think that in 2050 we will be able to use a small molecule to control every single process of every single protein."

In his talk, Raphaël Rodriguez tells us about a small molecule that could change the way we age.

Dr. Rodriguez was born October 27, 1978 and raised in the south of France by his parents Jean-Paul and Françoise Rodriguez. After receiving his undergraduate degree at the University of Avignon in June 2002, he performed graduate studies at Marseille and Oxford under the supervision of M. Santelli and Sir J. E. Baldwin. During his Ph.D. studies, he completed the total synthesis of several natural products, providing novel chemical ways to create complex molecular frameworks. Following completion of his doctoral studies, he joined the University of Cambridge in November 2005 as a Cancer Research UK postdoctoral fellow under the mentorship of S. Balasubramanian and was promoted to Senior Research Associate in 2009. His research encompassed the design and synthesis of small molecules to study the existence and biological consequence(s) of G-quadruplex nucleic acids in the human genome. In 2012, he joined the CNRS (ICSN, Gif-sur-Yvette, France) as a group leader and is now based at the Ins

J’aimerais bien faire mon stage de M2 chimie organique pour le vivant l’année prochaine avec le professeur Raphaël Rodriguez. J’y crois.
