Dr Carole Reymond

During my Master’s Degree in chemical engineering at CPE Lyon (Lyon, France) and analytical chemistry at the university Claude Bernard Lyon 1 (Lyon, France), I had the opportunity to spend a full-year internship at Sabic (Netherland). The aim was to characterize polymers by two-dimensional liquid chromatography as well as two-dimensional gas chromatography hyphenated to mass spectrometry. Then, I obtained my Ph.D. degree in analytical chemistry in 2020 at the University of Lyon after spending 3 years at IFP Energies Nouvelles. My PhD thesis focused on the characterization of complex oxygenated samples coming from transformation of lignocellulosic biomass and complex hydrocarbon samples related to heavy petroleum oil cuts. For this purpose, several multidimensional separation methods included reverse phase liquid chromatography, supercritical fluid chromatography and centrifugal partition chromatography have been set up and hyphenated with high-resolution mass spectrometry (FT-ICR, timsTOF). I have been working at Edelris (Lyon, France) as research scientist for two years. I develop new methods of separation and improve the sensibility and throughput of LC/HRMS analysis for ligand identification in the screening process. Moreover, a part of my work consists in structural identification by MS/MS mostly for unknown impurities in active pharmaceutical ingredient or final drug products.
