Artelis - Trainee Scientist
Realization of my Master Thesis: "Développement d'un bioprocédé visant la culture, à l'échelle industrielle, de cardiomyoblastes pour une application en thérapie cellulaire" focus on the development of a bioprocess aiming the cardiomyoblast expansion at industrial scale for cell therapy application.
The main objective of the thesis was to:
- Evaluate single-use sensor technology for its application in the large-scale single-use bioreactor.
- Develop cell culture protocol (cell seeding, growth and harvest) in a small-scale prototype bioreactor.
- Evaluate the shear stress profile applied on the cell layer.
Artelis - Junior Scientist
As Junior Scientist, I was focus on the development of a single-use bioreactor dedicated for Cell Therapy Applications.
As Engineer in Biochemistry, my mission was to work with the Automation team and the Cell Culture team in order to translate Cell Culture needs/requirements to technical solution taking into account the constraints highlighted by the Automation team.
In a second time, I also participated to project aiming the production of virus in single-use bioreactor for Vaccine Applications
Artelis / ATMI LF - Applicaion Support
As Application Support, my responsibilities were:
- Listen customer and understand his needs/targets.
- Install and qualify equipment.
- Ensure training of customers.
- Establish an experimental plan in order to transfer the customer's process to our single-use technologies and improve production yield.
This required closed, professional and transparent contact with our customers.
During this mission, I had the opportunity to travel around the world and meet valuable experts in the Cell Therapy and Vaccines fields.
Masthercell - Technical Service Supervisor
I joined Masthercell in 2014 as Technical Service Supervisor to build the Technical Service Department.
My responsibilities were:
- Managing the equipment lifecycle according to cGMP regulation including HVAC systems and Production Room Qualification.

During this mission, I was also involved in additional project such as:
- Scale-out feasibility study in Quantum bioreactors.
- Implementation of ERP system to manage Accounting, Procurement and Inventory.
Masthercell - Development Engineer
2 years later having started my collaboration with Masthercell and thanks to the success of the Quantum project, I was promoted to Project Management Department as Development Engineer in order to promote Development service of the company as CDMO.
My mission was the development of bioprocess that will address the long-term industrialization of the cell therapy in terms of GMP constraints and cost.

- Implement validation strategy according to customer's SOP.
- Risk assessment and management
- Schedule adherence, resources and budget control.
- People relation.
- Technical support for specification, development and computerized system validation
My Realizations
Scale-out feasability study in Quantum
The objective of this project was to highlight the ability of Quantum bioreactor to support scale-out production (up-to 10 systems running in parallel) while keeping low manpower need.
Applied Skills:
- Tech transfer
- Project Management
- Equipment Qualification
- Experimental plan design
- Bioprocess optimization
- Team leader
- Data analysis & reporting
Production Unit Commissionning
The objective of this project was to equip and commission a new production unit to increase manufacturing capacity of Masthercell.
Applied Skills:
- URS definition
- Equipment selection
- Procurement process (including price negotiation)
- System Qualification/Validation
- Project Management
- Budget Control
Odoo ERP Implementation
The objective of the project was to implement Odoo 8 as ERP to replace Paper and Spreadsheet management of Accounting, Inventory and Procurement.
Applied Skills:
- URS definition
- Metadata management
- Process Definition
- Training
- Change Control
- Project Management
- Budget Control
QMS system implementation
When I started at Masthercell, all processes were managed through paper-based system which have limitation regarding data capture, action follow-up and reporting. Therefore, I convinced the management to invest in a QMS platform such as Verse Solution - ETQ.
Therefore, I was involved in the team in charge of Verse Solution implementation. Deviation, CAPA, OOS and Document Control processes have finally been digitalized.
Applied Skills:
- URS definition
- Metadata management
- Software Validation
- Training
- Change Control
- Project Management
Odoo Hosting migration
Following the ERP implementation project, the decision was taken to migrate the cloud hosting of our ERP platform to on-premises servers in order to:
- Improve performance and user experience.
- Manage and ensure the complete lifecycle of the system (development, validation, backup, etc.)
Training System Implementation
After the success of Verse Solution implementation, the management saw the real interest to digitalize the enterprise since it gives better and faster visibility on activities and reduces the risk associated to data corruption and human mistake.
I continued this success rate by developing with our partner and implementing a training management system.
Applied Skills:
- URS definition
- Agile Methodology
- GAMP 5 validation
- Software development
- Process Definition
- Training
- Change Control
- Project Management
