Summary

Marcel Hilbert, a researcher from the Laboratory for Therapeutic Innovation, evokes the creation by many researchers of a national chemical library which contains 40 000 molecules made by chemists and about 15 000 collected natural substances extracts. Robots are used to test them and maybe discover new biologically active molecules and thus develop new pharmaceutical drugs.

CNRS Images,

Our work is guided by the way scientists question the world around them and we translate their research into images to help people to understand the world better and to awaken their curiosity and wonderment.
