Johanna Revol-Cavalier
Johanna Revol-Cavalier studied biomolecular chemistry at the Université de Montpellier where she obtained a Master’s degree in 2017. Her research focuses on the multi-step synthesis of bioactive lipids. After a Master’s thesis in England on the total synthesis of a mosquito’s terpene pheromone, she entered the Institut des Biomolécules Max Mousseron (IBMM) at Montpellier for her Ph.D.. In December 2020, she defended a thesis on the development of new pathways for the total synthesis of oxidative stress biomarkers possessing an isoprostanoïd structure. Her aim was to synthesize prostaglandin-like metabolites of omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, that are used as standards for the quantification of these metabolites by LC-MS/MS analysis. In April 2021, she moved to Sweden to start a postdoc in collaboration between the Wheelock laboratory and Larodan. She is working on the total synthesis of bioactive oxygenated metabolites of C-18 polyunsaturated fatty acids (octadecanoids).
