Chimie ParisTech - PSL is an international center for training and research in chemistry that provides cutting-edge research education. The school also nurtures numerous industrial and academic partnerships, both nationally and internationally. Corning and Chimie ParisTech - PSL have worked together for the past four years with the university currently utilizing Corning’s G1 Photo Reactor, Low Flow Reactor, and Nebula Education Kits.
“Partnering with one of the best chemistry schools in France is very exciting for us – with Corning and Chimie ParisTech-PSL both sharing long track records of excellence in innovation,” said Alessandra Vizza, business director, Corning Advanced-Flow Reactors. “The establishment of this AQL helps educate the next generation of chemistry experts on continuous flow technology and we’re looking forward to seeing how this collaboration will grow in the future.”
Located in the heart of Paris, the location of this AQL provides another location to assist Corning with serving its European-based customers.
“The labeling of the Paristech as an AQL is one of the most important outcomes from several years of work in the field of flow chemistry between our institution and Corning,” said Michael Tatoulian, professor and assistant director, Chimie ParisTech – PSL. “This label is a unique opportunity in France and will ensure increased visibility for the Paristech’s activity in the development of innovative synthesis and pathways in fine and specialty chemistry for the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. It will also be an opportunity for us to promote the training and raise the awareness with engineering students in continuous flow chemistry technologies.”
The newly established AQL also highlights a larger trend of France’s re-entry into the pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
