Thierry Durand

Thierry Durand studied chemistry at University of Paris VI, then moved to Montpellier and received his PhD degree at University of Montpellier I in 1990. After a postdoctoral training at FIT in Melbourne, USA, with Joshua Rokach, Thierry became Chargé de Recherche CNRS at the University of Montpellier I in 1991. He finished his Habilitation in 1996 and became Directeur de Recherche CNRS in 2002.

Thierry is a group leader at IBMM, Montpellier.

His research interests include the total synthesis of oxygenated cyclic and non cyclic metabolites of PUFAs, mainly leukotrienes, iso-, phyto- and neuroprostanes/furans, as well as dihydroxylated PUFAs, branched fatty acids termed FAHFAs, lipophenols, lipopeptides and lipooxadiazolones and targeted lipidomics on isoprostanoids (NEO-PUFAs) in human, animal, vegetable and algal matrices.

Thierry is developing collaborations all over the word in the different fields linked to oxidative stress, biomarkers and all the biomolecules mentioned above.

Thierry published more than 397 scientific articles/reviews in peer reviews, 10 patents and received the Chevreul medal in 2018, from the SFEL.
