Jacques Desbrières (jacques.desbrières@univ-pau.fr) is professor at Université de Pau et des Pays de l’Adour (UPPA), engineer from the National School of Chemistry in Paris (France) and Doctor-Engineer from university of Grenoble I (France). He is author or co-author of 150 papers, 21 book chapters, 120 oral communications and 10 patents. After beginning as research engineer dedicated to the application of polymers towards oil well operations with Dowell Schlumberger, he was appointed at University of Grenoble in 1990 and then in Pau in 2004. His research domains are interested in the chemistry and physico-chemistry of natural polymers, especially the relationships between the chemical structure (from their controlled chemical modification), their specific functional properties and their applications. Fields of interest developed nowadays are in biomedical, cosmetic and food applications of polysaccharide-based materials and "green chemistry" involving microwave assisted chemical modification of polysaccharides.
