Jean-Christophe Monbaliu's Biography

Jean-Christophe Monbaliu, Professor, Center for Integrated Technology and Organic Synthesis, University of Liège

Jean-Christophe M. Monbaliu is Professor of Organic Chemistry at the University of Liège (Belgium) and serves as Associate Editor of the Journal of Flow Chemistry. He is heading the Center for Integrated Technology and Organic Synthesis (CiTOS, www.citos.uliege.be), the first European Corning® Advanced-Flow™ reactor qualified lab. In 2022, Monbaliu created FloW4all, a training, tech transfer and service Flow Technology Platform in Wallonia. Research interests at CiTOS revolve around synthetic organic chemistry but are multidisciplinary in essence and aim at (a) designing cheaper and more efficient routes for the preparation of high value-added chemicals such as active pharmaceutical ingredients; (b) accelerating the transition from petrobased to biobased strategies and (c) developing efficient processes with a lower environmental impact.
