The team

Romuald has been in charge of Alvéole’s management and development since September 2016. In 2007, he started as the product manager at Echosens, a medical equipment manufacturer in the Hepatology field. In 2010, he became the Marketing Manager at SEBAC, a subsidiary of one of the European leaders in medical distribution in the hospital sector. His 10 years of professional experience mixing manufacturing and distributing medical equipment in Sales and Marketing give him a global vision of business issues, essential to good corporate management. Romuald has a Master’s Degree in Biology and Marketing.

Following a preliminary educational background in cell biology and physiology at UPMC Paris 6, Hélène has valued a dual skill by obtaining a Master’s Degree in Sales. She worked for 15 years at Nikon in the Instruments department. Thanks to this extensive experience she acquired a strong expertise in microscopy and videomicroscopy, a deep understanding of the scientific equipment market and deep knowledge of the biology research environment.
She joined Alvéole’s team in April 2017 to oversee international business development and market its products and solutions.

He was trained as an engineer in biotechnologies at Sup’Biotech and specialized in the biomedical field. After his studies, he began working in a CNRS team to study the effects of microenvironment on stem cell neural differentiation. He then joined Alvéole’s team in 2015 where he is now the R&D manager.

Riddhi did her PhD from IISc Bangalore (India), where she worked on proteins involved in intra-cellular transport for skin pigmentation/melanin synthesis and developed cell biological protocols to study pigmentation in cells. Subsequently she moved to Paris in 2016 to do her Postdoc at Insitut Curie, where she worked on the interface of cell biology and physics to understand the pathophysiology of protein complexes in health and disease. She joined Alvéole in Sept-2022 as an application engineer to actively participating in the worldwide development of Alvéole’s business and provide technical support to the clients.

He did his PhD in physical-chemistry studying fluid flow interface dynamics in microfluidic systems applied to enhanced-oil recovery. He then worked in collaboration with Aléole as a postdoctoral researcher at Institut Curie to implement the first prototype system for protein photo-patterning derived from LIMAP technology. He joined Alvéole as an application engineer. He is in charge of installing the PRIMO system and training users onsite as well as providing technical support with Alveole’s R&D team.

Alexane graduated with a Biotechnology and Chemistry Engineering degree specialized in Health, from two engineering schools in Strasbourg. She then completed a Specialized Master in Management of the Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical Industry at Grenoble Ecole de Management in 2019. She joined Alvéole in 2020 as a VIE (Volontariat à l’International en Entreprise) to develop Alvéole’s Business in the USA. Since 2022, she’s managing Alvéole’s Business in Europe.

Graduated with a Master’s degree in Platform Engineering in Biology (IPFB), she worked as an engineer since 2017 within the University of Bordeaux on a project aiming to use micropatterns for the study of synaptic adhesion proteins. Since November 2020, she has started an industrial PhD between Alvéole and the University of Bordeaux within the joint laboratory led by Vincent Studer. The project will be in the continuity of the first developments with the use of micropatterns for neuroscience and the study of adhesion proteins, with the development of screening and multipatterning aspects.

After studying fundamental physics at Paris Diderot university, Grégoire’s interests moved to biophysics. He did his PhD at Jacques Monod Institute on the dynamics and the mechanics of confined epithelial cells using microprinted surfaces. He joined Alvéole in December 2017 as an application engineer. He is in charge of PRIMO system’s installation, user training and technical support linked to the use of the system and its applications.
