Nassim Maarouf is a Ph.D. candidate and NSERC and FRQNT scholar in Professor Lubell’s laboratory at the Université de Montréal, where his research focuses on solvent-less, supported, and catalytic liquid-phase peptide synthesis, as well as permanently charged and cyclic amino acids and their applications.

He recently first-authored ah article highlighted on our site. The study demonstrates that resonant acoustic mixing, RAM, enables efficient ester, amide, and peptide bond formation at high concentrations in green solvents, with minimal liquid waste, low epimerization, and improved process mass intensity, PMI, compared to conventional solution-phase and ball-milling approaches. His work highlights RAM as a practical platform for sustainable manufacturing of peptide therapeutics in response to emerging environmental requirements in the pharmaceutical sector.
Outside the lab, Nassim is involved in a start-up venture and enjoys running and hiking.
