Biography

Dr. Christophe Labriere is a Research Fellow within Dr. Leo Quinlan's group at the Department of Physiology of the School of Medicine.


Christophe graduated with a MSc in Chemistry at the University of Occidental Brittany (Brest, France), a Master of Research in Biomolecular Engineering (Montpellier, France), a French elite postgraduate 'Diplôme d'Ingénieur Chimiste' and a PhD in Medicinal Organic Chemistry (Gif-sur-Yvette, France).

Part time Master of Research in Oncology (Gustave Roussy Institute, France) and Chemical Ecology-Biotechnology (University of Southern Brittany, France) as a hobby. 

After his PhD, Christophe moved around the world to be exposed to different cultures and research perspectives.

During his peregrinations, he has been involved in research works in Canada, Norway, Sweden, Scotland, Germany and now Ireland.

His research interests focus on the interface between chemistry and biology, with an expertise in medicinal organic chemistry and research interests spanning from green & sustainable synthesis, drug discovery, bioprospection, (marine) nature products chemistry to chemical ecology.
 The 'One Health' concept relates to some of his interests, making a connection between human, animal and environment, and promoting a systemic approach at the intersection of three domains.

Dr. Labriere is the author of 6 patents, 14 publications and a reviewer for European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry & Marine Pollution Bulletin. He raised 173K euros within the framework of Horizon H2020 (European Commission).
