Mircea Sofonea, the model epidemiologist

Portrait
Mircea Sofonea is an epidemiologist at the Pathogenesis and Control of Chronic and Emerging Infections (PCCEI) laboratory. Although his discipline has only become widely known since the Covid epidemic, for him it's a vocation that goes back a long way. Portrait of a researcher who knows how to stay the course.

Balard Chemistry Analysis and Characterization Platform (PAC Chimie Balard)

Page
The Plateforme d'Analyse et de Caractérisation (PAC) brings together equipment from the Pôle de Chimie Balard institutes (ICGM, IBMM, IEM and ICSM), ENSCM and the University of Montpellier's common services for chemistry. The aim of this platform is to provide users with cutting-edge equipment and a network of skills in the chemical sciences. The PAC comprises 4 entities: the Physical Measurement Laboratory (LMP), the X-ray and Gamma-ray Network (RRXG), the Electronic and Analytical Microscopy Platform (MEA), and the Technical Platform (PT-ICGM). Its activities focus on 3 main areas: Analysis and characterization of solids and materials Characterization of organic molecules and macromolecules Characterization of materials and fluids associated with separative processes The Analysis and Characterization Platform offers exceptional measurement capabilities in X-ray Diffraction, Electron Microscopy, NMR spectroscopy, IR - Raman spectroscopy, Mössbauer spectrometry, SQUID magnetometry, EPR spectroscopy, XPS, mass spectrometry, textural and granulometric analysis, chemical analysis (elemental analysis, AAS, ICP-MS, X-ray fluorescence), calorimetric and thermal analysis, dielectric spectroscopy. The various departments are organized around centers of expertise based on technical staff dedicated to these instruments, in constant liaison with researchers and Professors specializing in the field. The Plateforme d'Analyse et de Caractérisation du Pôle Chimie Balard is open to the entire academic scientific community, as well as to industry (major groups, SMEs and start-ups). Access to services takes the form of services, collaborations or partnerships, including: analytical services provided by PAC staff, research and development projects, methodological and instrumental developments, and theoretical and practical training.
