9-7-2004 - Professor David Fushmann, University of Maryland, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, College Park, Maryland, USA, will give a seminar on the topic  :


16-6-2004 - The NMR facility proposes an internet guided tour of the final installation of the new 600 MHz NMR system as well as a touristic tour in the campus viscinity, Lyon city and its region.



5-5-2004 - The Oxford Instruments actively shielded 600 magnet came to field today sucessfully. Initial specifications are satisfactory and the installation is proceeding normally untill the end of may.





22-3-2004 -  Varian Associates Inc. was selected to supply the new NMR system 600 MHz (14,1 Tesla) of the Research Federation. The public call for proposal was launched on January 9, 2004 and published to the Official Journal of the European Communities Jan. 14, 2004 (2004/S9-007551). The market was officially adjudicated by Université Claude Bernard - Lyon 1, after the current formal delay in France of 52 days.

The Installation will start the second week of April 2004, at the Research Federation NMR facility, ground floor of bldg 308, aisle C.  Works to meet both the safety and the NMR constraints, are beeing achieved in the room 34 to receive properly the new NMR system and the associated automate (sample changer for 50 NMR cells).




8-3-2004 -  The Research Federation hold its second Council to state on the current actions and the projects of the new  Masters of Sciences and Technologies related to Analytical Sciences planned to open at Université Claude Bernard - Lyon 1, september 2004.

06-2-2004 - INVITATION TO THE 9th SYMPOSIUM ON BIOCHROMATOGRAPHY





2003-12-05 - Our commissioners and experts were in Darmstadt, Germany, on december 2-3 for testing a NMR system Inova 600 MHz in the European Application Laboratory of Varian Associates Inc.. They will be visiting the Application Laboratory of Bruker BioSpin AG in Zürich (Fällanden, Switzerland) on december 10-11, 2003 for the same types of evaluations related to our 600 NMR project.

2003-11-26 - Public presentation of a Doctor Thesis from Université Claude Bernard - Lyon 1, Ecole Doctorale de Chimie de Lyon :



2003-11-26 - Since 8 years, the Pôle Universitaire de Lyon organizes, in partnership with The City of Lyon, le a cycle of Grandes conférences de Lyon. These confernces are free access and free of charges aand open to broad audience giving to distinguished scientists, their contribution to the public debat  related to new advances in scientific research and the great social questions.


The first Grande ConfŽrence de Lyon opens the cycle 2003-2004 on :



"Bien que la nature présente de nombreuses formes asymétriques dites chirales (coquilles d'escargots, mains d'un être humain), l'intérêt de la chiralité dans le monde scientifique n'est apparu que tardivement. Il faut, en effet, attendre 1848 et les travaux de Pasteur démontrant pour la première fois que deux molécules peuvent être l'image l'une de l'autre dans un miroir et posséder des propriétés différentes pour voir se développer une forte activité de recherche dans ce domaine. Plus récemment, la tragédie liée à la thalidomide a conduit le monde pharmaceutique à réglementer la commercialisation et la dispensation des molécules chirales. Ainsi, des méthodes performantes ont dù se développer pour répondre ˆ l'un des problèmes des plus ardus qui se posent à un analyste, la distinction des molécules chirales"


2003-11-21 -GlaxoSmithKline R&D is seeking a number of Graduates, PhD's and Post Docs to wotk in Organic Synthesis, Medicinal and Analytical Chemistry. Company representative will bee visiting our campus and answer questions on :


2003-11-20 - Our web pages are now indexed at http://www.sfrpsa.univ-lyon1.fr/SFRPSA/index_e.html, the version in English is also initiated.  Please report the inconsistencies...


2003-11-13 - The web page prototypes have been written by the direction. They are temporally hosted by an old server from the Biomolecular NMR group at ESCPE-Lyon, while waiting for a new powerfull LINUX server more adapted that would be installed not latter than  January  2004.  Be patient if the loading is slow...

2003-11-7 -  We have suggested to buy a new A0 printer in association with the other federations, and doctoral schools from the Faculty of Chemistry and Biochemistry to facilitate the printing of scientific posters. This type of service is not existing on site and should be by now externalized at high cost. The recent communication deficit of our University in the local manisfestions as the Rencontres Régionales de la Recherche organized by the regional government from Région Rhône-Alpes has motivated this suggestion.


2003-11-05 -The first Federation Council wad held on november 4, 2003. During this council, the principles of the  member charter were adopted. The investment projects were examinated and the board was in charge to start the negociations and the official procedures for a  public concurence concerning three types of equipments:

• Powder X diffraction and Rietvelt
• NMR 600
• Equipments the manufactoring analytical micro-systems
  

The council should state about the results not later than Janvier 2004.
