Researcher Portraits: 3 Perspectives on the 2025 Nobel Laureates in Chemistry
On October 8, 2025, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded for groundbreaking work on MOFs (Metal-Organic Frameworks) or porous coordination polymers. A field in which our laboratory, Ircelyon, has been a leader for many years. We recently shared the connections between our teams and these major advances in 2 articles: Our researchers associated with the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, awarded to Prof. Kitagawa, Prof. Yaghi and Prof. Robson! and MOFs at the Heart of a Franco-Japanese Collaboration.
Today, we invite you to discover, through three video portraits, the daily lives and contributions of three of our researchers: David Farrusseng, Aude Demessence, and Mathieu Prévot. In these portraits, they explain who they are, what they work on, how they met the 2025 Nobel Laureates in Chemistry, and how they collaborated with them. Finally, they share what this recognition means for their current and future work.
These testimonials remind us that behind every scientific discovery are passionate people, meaningful encounters, and collaborations that transcend borders. At Ircelyon, we are proud to contribute to this collective adventure and to train the next generation of researchers.
Find below and on Ircelyon’s YouTube account the interviews of David Farrusseng (from the ING team), Aude Demessence (from the CDURABLE team), and Mathieu Prévot (from the CATREN team):
