About
Catherine Guillou is a medicinal chemist whose research focuses on the discovery and development of novel small-molecule inhibitors targeting fungal pathogens, particularly those affecting agriculture. Her key contributions lie in the design and screening of chemical libraries to identify potent compounds against chitin synthase, an essential enzyme for fungal cell wall integrity. In her most-cited work, "Discovery of two new inhibitors of Botrytis cinerea chitin synthase by a chemical library screening" (2013), she successfully identified two promising inhibitors that disrupt the growth of Botrytis cinerea, a devastating necrotrophic fungus responsible for gray mold disease in crops. This study, with 13 citations, underscores her impact in the field of agrochemical research, offering a foundation for developing safer, more targeted fungicides. Guillou’s work bridges synthetic chemistry and plant pathology, providing valuable tools for sustainable agriculture. Her achievements highlight her expertise in high-throughput screening and structure-activity relationship analysis, making her a notable figure in the fight against fungal plant diseases.
