After that, he was recruited by Miltenyi Biotec as Clinical account manager cell and gene therapy.

Benjamin Lassus defended his PhD in 2016 at Université Pierre et Marie Curie, during which he developed a high high-throughput microfluidic platform to study neuronal network calcium activity. He then did a Post-doctoral fellowship at CNRS, learning and optimizing microfluidic fabrication processes. He did a second post-doc at Columbia University (New York), where he worked on preventing the propagation of tauopathies in the CNS using microfluidic devices. He is now microfluidic scientist at HiFiBio, Paris.

Wilko Duprez began working in the pharmaceutical industry in the United States before undertaking a PhD in medicinal biochemistry in Australia. It was during his PhD that he discovered a vocation for science communication, hosting radio shows and science popularization events. After two short post-docs, he took the plunge and completed a Master’s degree in Science Communication at Imperial College London, which led to freelance work for the BBC. After a stint in Japan as a science communication officer for a young university, Wilko became a virtual reality science simulation director for Labster, a start-up based in Denmark. Since September 2020, Wilko has been the communications manager at Scipio bioscience, an RNA sequencing start-up based at the Brain Institute.
