Benoît VILLIERS

Benoît VILLIERS has a diverse work experience beginning with an industrial placement at Sanofi in 2003. Benoît then completed a Masters research project on therapeutic protein engineering at CEA/bioMerieux in 2005. That same year, they began their PhD in Enzyme Engineering at the University of Cambridge. In 2009, they took a Scientist in therapeutic protein engineering (post-doc) role at CEA/Department of molecular engineering of proteins. In 2010, they became a Lecturer at Ecole Centrale Paris, teaching Biology and biotechnology in English and French. In 2012, they took a Scientist in Biochemistry, Molecular & Cell Biology role at ManRos Therapeutics. Finally, in 2014, they became Group Leader in Metabolic Engineering and Enzyme Engineering at Global Bioenergies, managing teams of R&D engineers, engineer assistants and technicians, developing screening assays, constructing enzyme mutant libraries, and optimizing redox balance, energy consumption and intermediate metabolites' toxicity.

Benoît VILLIERS completed their PhD in Enzyme Engineering at the University of Cambridge from 2005 to 2009. Prior to that, they completed a Master of Research in Protein Engineering at Paris-Sud University (Paris XI) in 2004-2005. Benoît also participated in an ERASMUS program of École Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Montpellier in 2003-2004, focusing on Biochemistry. Their education history was completed in 2001-2003 with an Ingénieur (Masters degree) in Chemistry/Biochemistry at Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Montpellier.
