Biography
I started as a biologist then things got complicated. As I was studying biotechnology at the university of nîmes, my work experiences went from bacteriology and molecular biology and then shifted to droplet microfluidics , microrheology to finally culminate with a Phd in 3D cell culture and biomaterial engineering. I came to enjoy multidisciplinary environments and their associated challenges and will carry on with this philosophy over the next years.Research topics
I like multidisciplinary challenges. Nowadays, my current research topic involves structuring and functionalizing soft hydrogels to create biocompatible templates that support the tridimensional culture of cells such as cell lines, primary cells or stem cells. To achieve that, I make extensive use of photochemistry paired with a patterned illumination device.Fields of interest
3D Cell culture, organoïds, photochemistry, soft matter, microfabrication.

Applications
Stencell
Designed with Vincent Studer and Pierre-Olivier Strale
Stencell is the ready-to-use sticky foil with compartments that you can use for cellular
confinement. It is designed to standardize the experiments and to
minimize the consumption of reagents.
