Aurore Loudet was born in France. She received her B.S. degree in biochemistry and M.S. degree in chemistry at Université Paul Sabatier in Toulouse, France. In 2000, she came to Texas A & M University and joined Kevin Burgess' group. Her research focused on the synthesis of near-IR aza-BODIPY dyes.

Kevin Burgess is a professor at Texas A & M University, where he has been since September 1992. His research interest focuses on peptidomimetics for mimicking or disrupting protein−protein interactions, asymmetric organometallic catalysis, and fluorescent dyes for multiplexing in biotechnology. The latter project involves much chemistry that centers around the BODIPY dyes. We choose to write this review to organize the literature in that field for ourselves and others in the field.
