Professor Janine Cossy graduated from the University of Reims (France) working under the supervision of Prof. Jean-Pierre Pète. After a postdoctoral stay with Prof. Barry Trost (1980-1982) at the University of Wisconsin (USA), she returned to Reims where she became Director of Research CNRS in 1990. The same year, she moved to Paris to become Professor of Organic Chemistry at the Ecole Supérieure de Physique et de Chimie Industrielles de la Ville de Paris (ESPCI Paris). She has published more than 560 articles and filed 18 patents in the field of synthetic organic chemistry and natural product synthesis. She was Associate Editor at Organic Letters from 2005 to 2018 and since October 2023, she is Tetrahedron Associate Editor. Her research efforts have resulted in more than 560 publications and 18 patents. Among the awards, she received: the CNRS Silver Medal (France, 1996); the UK Royal Society Rosalyn Franklin International Lecturership awarded to internationally recognized women scientists (UK, 2005); the E. C. Taylor Senior Award (2015); the IUPAC 2019 Distinguished Women in Chemistry or Chemical Engineering (2019). She was elected at the French Academy of sciences in 2017 and in 2022, she has been elected at the national Academy of Pharmacy. In addition, she was nominated Chevalier de l’Ordre National du Mérite and promoted to Officier in 2018. In 2013, she was nominated Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur and was promoted to Officier in 2023. She is the co-funder of two companies: CDP-Innovation and Acanthe Biotech.
