Dr. Peter Goekjian has been Professor of Chemistry at Université Claude Bernard–Lyon 1, France, since September 2000. His research interests are carbohydrate chemistry, total synthesis of glycosidic natural products, targeted methodology, and the role of glycosylation in signal transduction and gene expression. He was involved in the early work on the use of C-glycosides as conformational probes in the late 1980s and early 1990s.Dr. Arnaud Haudrechy has been a Professor of Chemistry at the Université of Reims Champagne Ardenne, France, since September 2003. His research interests include carbohydrate chemistry, total synthesis of natural substances, development of methodologies, and didactical techniques. He was involved in the early work on the use of C-glycosides as conformational probes in the late 1980s and early 1990s.Dr. Boudjema Menhour has a PhD in Organic Chemistry and is a researcher at the Institute of Molecular Chemistry, Reims (ICMR), University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne, Reims, France. He research interests include developing a synthesis of carbohydrate analogues, targeting a specific activity, such as immunostimulatory, and eliciting properties.Claire Coiffier, PhD, is a researcher at the Institute of Molecular Chemistry, Reims (ICMR), University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne, Reims, France. She has worked on the top-down approach for the synthesis of biologically active substrates and on the analysis of preferred conformations of C-furanosides, using theoretical chemistry.
