Patrick Meffre was born in Marseille, France, in 1964. After engineering studies at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Paris (ENSCP, Chimie ParisTech-PSL, a member of Université Paris-Sciences et Lettres, PSL, Paris, France), he receives his Ph.D. at the Université Pierre and Marie Curie, now Sorbonne Université (Paris), in 1991 under the supervision of Prof F. Le Goffic. After post-doctoral training with Prof S. Hanessian (Université de Montréal, Québec, Canada) he was appointed Assistant Professor at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Paris in 1993. Since 2004 he moved to Nîmes Université (France) where he was appointed as Full Professor.

His current interests concern :

-The use of epiphytic plants (Tillandsia genus, colloquially called “air plants”) as natural source of biologically active compounds or as biomonitors of air pollution, and more specifically, Tillandsia species well acclimated to the local climate in Southern/Mediterranean Europe region.

-The extraction and identification of natural products from plants including volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and their biological activity.

-The synthesis of chiral or non-chiral biologically active compounds (antibacterial agents, adjuvants), of unusual amino acids, chiral synthons derived from natural amino acids and their biological activity.
