Biography:
Dr Bruno Wacogne is a CNRS Research Director at the FEMTO-ST Institute
(one of the biggest Science and Technologies laboratory in France) where
he was the head of the "Photonics for medical instrumentation" team
before to join the BioMicroDevices group. He created and is now leading
the Biom'@x transversal axis "Science et technology for personalized
medicin" within this Institute. In 2010, at the request of Besançon
University Hospital, he applied and has been awarded a Translational
Research Fellow position from the National AVIESAN Alliance. This is a
supplementary position that allows him to be at the interface between
the health activities at the FEMTO-ST Institute and the Clinical
Investigation Center in Technological Innovation at Besançon University
Hospital. At the hospital, he is now the technological supervisor of the
institution and the head of "Microsystems and biological qualification"
unit.
His research interests concern translational research, science and
technology for health and more precisely immuno-combined medical
devices, biological qualification devices and biomedical optics. He is
author or co-author of about 230 communications among which 8 patents, 1
invited paper and about 30 invited conferences and keynote lectures. He
is regularly chairman in international conferences and he co-organized
the 14th International conference BIODEVICES in 2021. He has been
awarded several times: Gold Micron at the International MICRONORA
Workshop, Best Poster Award at the 2nd International Conference on
Bio-sensing Technology, Amsterdam, The Nederlands. With his co-authors,
he received the Best Paper Award at the 13th International Conference
BIOSTEC in 2020.

Dr. Annie FRELET-BARRAND studied biochemistry at the University of
Franche-Comté (France) and was graduated as MS in 1998. In 2006, she
received her PhD degree on membrane proteins (MP) characterization at
the Institute of Plant Biology, Zurich. During her postdoctoral
fellowship (CEA Grenoble, France), she developed L. lactis system for
functional characterization of MPs. In 2009, she became CNRS Researcher
at CEA Saclay, studying MPs involved in liver detoxification. In 2015,
she integrated the Institute FEMTO-ST and is now producing and
characterizing by biological, biochemical and biophysical techniques
diverse biological elements from MPs, vesicles to bacteria and mammalian
cells. She published 19 research articles and 4 book chapters (h=14).

Alain Rouleau was born in 1975 in Grenoble (France). During these
studies, he specialized in Biology including immunology, physiology,
oncology and the design of devices for in vitro diagnostics. He is
currently working at the Femto-ST Institute (Besançon, France) as a
specialist in bio-interaction particularly in SPR (surface plasmon
resonance). He is also technical manager of the CLIPP proteomic platform
in Besancon. |
