Nicolas Giuseppone is a French researcher specialized in supramolecular chemistry. He is Professor at the University of Strasbourg and a member of the Institut Universitaire de France.

He is the recipient of the CNRS 2024 Silver Medal for the significance of his work in the field of molecular machines.

Biography
Nicolas Giuseppone completed his graduate studies at the University of Paris-Saclay and obtained his PhD on the use of lanthanide iodides in asymmetric catalysis in the laboratory of Professor H. B. Kagan under the direction of Dr. Jacqueline Collin. Then he joined as a postdoctoral researcher the laboratory of Professor K.C. Nicolaou at the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla (University of San Diego, California). There he worked on the first total synthesis of Diazonamide A, an anticancer drug of marine origin. After a year, he was recruited by the CNRS as a research fellow and joined the laboratory of Professor Jean-Marie Lehn, Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry, to start research in the field of supramolecular chemistry. In 2008, he was appointed Professor at the University of Strasbourg and created his own research team at the Charles Sadron Institute (UPR CNRS). He received a scholarship from the ERC in 2010, was appointed junior member of the Institut Universitaire de France in 2013, and he was promoted to Distinguished Professor (PRCE2) in 2020.

He was deputy director of the Charles Sadron Institute from 2012 to 2023, and director of the Materials and Nanosciences Research Federation of the Grand Est from 2018 to 2023. He is also the Scientific Integrity referent at the University of Strasbourg since 2017.

He becomes a senior member of the Institut Universitaire de France in 2023 and receives the CNRS silver medal in 2024.

Research
His research uses supramolecular chemistry and molecular machines to design new systems functioning out of thermodynamic equilibrium, and intelligent materials capable of interacting with their environment.
