REALCAT is a technical platform integrating some 30 high-throughput equipment in the field of Biotechnology and Chemistry. Our core business is Catalysis, whether Biocatalysis (enzymatic and fermentative), Chemical Catalysis (homogeneous and heterogeneous), or Hybrid Catalysis. Although very diversified, our projects mainly concern the valorization of Biomass in a wide range of applications, ranging from new generation biofuels, to the synthesis of innovative polymers, as well as the production of platform molecules for industry or the search for new antimicrobials. If you are interested in our activities, visit www.realcat.fr to get a complete overview of the services we offer. Personally, my job is to manage, coordinate, and carry out all the projects in the Biotechnology part of the platform. As such, I manage both the scientific aspects of the projects, the technical aspects, as well as the administrative side of the platform. For more details, do not hesitate to consult my Curriculum Vitae! Skills developed : > Biotechnology skills: - Development of high throughput enzymatic screening assays - High-throughput fermentations - Mass spectrometry analyzes > Equipment & programming: - Biomek FXp / NXp, Beckman Coulter - QPix 460, Molecular Devices - Fermenters (400 mL) MiniBio, Applikon - Biolector & Biolector Pro, M2PLabs - Writing of computer programs for the treatment of results > Administrative Skills and Management: - Scientific supervision of Post-Docs, PhD & Trainee. Training of users in equipment. - Invoicing, schedules, orders, stocks, quote writing, etc. Show less Research Engineer, Manager of the Biotechnology part of the REALCAT platform in Lille.

My PhD thesis is titled: "Seeking New Transaminases for Chiral Amine Synthesis." PhD realized under the supervision of Prof. Thierry Gefflaut and Dr. Franck Charmantray. Description: My work consisted in the development and implementation of new high throughput screening biochemical assay for the discovery and study of new enzymes. The two main types of enzymes I've worked with were Transaminases and Monoamines Oxidases. To carry out my project, I first had to develop assays at the chemical and biocatalytic level (synthesis and preparation of substrates, selection of enzymes, design of model reactions, determination of optimal conditions, etc.). The second step consisted in the evaluation of all the statistical parameters concerned (blanks, negative controls, detection thresholds, LOD, selection thresholds, etc.). It was then necessary, during the third step, to proceed with the automation of the tests (programming of a pipetting platform / TECAN detection, writing of computer programs for the automatic analysis of the screening results) in order to be able to use them in high throughput screenings. Finally, I was able, in a last step, to carry out the screening of a 2000 Transaminases library (built in partnership with the Génoscope (Evry)) to find and study new biocatalysts potentially useful for therapeutic target synthesis.
