Mélodie Nos

As a self-motivated and autodidact scientist with a PhD in organic chemistry for solar cell devices, I have worked for 5 years at a CRO (contract research organization) in Québec City, where I was in charge of the synthesis development, characterization, and shipping of active molecules for various pharmaceutical clients. After a few months of completing personal projects (humanitarian mission), I’m looking for new professional challenges that will allow me to grow and learn new chemistry concepts. Beyond chemical synthesis, one of my goals is to be more involved in scientific projects, by taking on additional responsibilities.

Scientist at NuChem Sciences (Sygnature discovery business), from May 2019 to August 2024.

Performing multistep synthesis (purification, characterization) with retro-synthetic work and route design, problem solving, working in collaboration with pharmaceutical clients (local and international companies), shipping of active molecules with a high purity level according to the client’s requests, managing multiple projects and changing priorities simultaneously, Report writing and client videoconferencing, Recording detailed experimental data using an electronic laboratory notebook.

PhD in organic chemistry, LCMT laboratory Caen, France from Oct 2015 to Dec 2018.

Multidisciplinary subject (polymer chemistry and organic chemistry). Conception, design and synthesis of highly functionalized conjugated compounds

Metallo-polymer synthesis and (photo)physical characterizations UV/visible spectroscopy studies to find the perfect match for photovoltaic applications. Collaboration and exchange among various scientific partners. Supramolecular self-organization study.
