Internationally recognized expert in Glycosciences, Prof. Richard Daniellou (PREX2) received a degree in Biochemistry and a Ph.D (2003) in Organic Chemistry from the University of Paris XI. After two years as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Saskatchewan (Canada), he was offered an Assistant Professor position at the ENSC of Rennes (France). In 2010 he defended a habilitation and was promoted Full Professor of Biochemistry at the Organic and Analytical Chemistry Institute of Orléans (France) in 2011. His main interest for carbohydrate-active enzymes as biocatalysts for chemo-enzymatic synthesis of glycoconjugates led him to the creation of the research group named Enzymology and Glycobiochemistry. Since 2021, he has moved to AgroParisTech, where he is currently the head of the chair of Cosmetology, and has recently joined the institute MICALIS for his activities related to carbohydates. In overall he is co-author of 91 publications and 4 international patents.
