Prof. Nicole J. Moreau

Prof. Nicole Jeanne Moreau was born on 3 July 1941 in Perpignan, France. She is married with 2 children.

Education and Career: Prof. Moreau studied mathematics, physics, and chemistry (1958-61) at the University of Paris (Sorbonne), where she received her bachelor's degree in physical sciences and, subsequently, an M.S. in physical chemistry in 1961. She began work as a research scientist in the chemistry laboratory of the Ecole Polytechnique in 1961, and she obtained a doctorate in physical sciences (chemistry distinction) in 1967 from Orsay University, where the laboratory had been transferred and where she remained until 1971. Her thesis concerned synthesis of di- and triterpenes using NMR and mass spectroscopic approaches; she then moved to monosaccharide chemistry. In 1972, she joined the chemistry laboratory of Prof. Le Goffic at Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris, where she worked until 1993. In 1973, she was a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Dr. J. S. Pitton at the Medical Microbiology Institute in Geneva, Switzerland. Prof. Moreau began service with the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) in 1962 and was successively appointed Attaché de Recherche (1963-67), Chargé de Recherche (1968-78), Directeur de Recherche (1979-92), and Full Professor at University Paris 6 (Pierre and Marie Curie), where she has served since 1993. She has held an appointment as Professor at the Laboratory of Molecular Research on Antibiotics, University Paris 6, since 1994.

Research Interests: Prof. Moreau successfully designed the first purification, using affinity chromatography, of enzymes that inactivate aminoglycoside antibiotics. Her research is at the interface of chemistry and life sciences, and she continues to study the mode of action of antibiotics and the way bacteria can resist them.

Offices and Assignments: Member of French Chemical Society (1963-present); Chargé de Mission, Ministere de la Recherche—Adjoint du chef du département "Médicaments" (1984-89); Member of French Microbiology Society (1987-present); Secretary (1989-97) and President (1997-1999) of EUCHEM (European Chemistry); President of GESA (Study Group of Structure-Activity Relationships, 1990); Member of French Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Society (1991-present); Chargé de Mission, Department of Chemical Sciences—CNRS (1993-1997); Secretary of the Maison de la Chimie Foundation International Prize (1994-present); Directeur Scientifique Adjoint, Department of Chemical Sciences—CNRS (1998-present).

IUPAC Activities: Prof. Moreau has served as vice president of the French National Committee for Chemistry (IUPAC NAO) since 1994 and as a member of the French National Committee of Chemistry Delegation at IUPAC since 1995.

Awards: Prof. Moreau was awarded the Prix de l'Académie de Pharmacie, Paris, in 1974.
