Thierry Herve

CEO

Engineer in Physics&Electronics, he gets a PhD in electronics in 1987 from INPG (National Polytechnique Institute of Grenoble-France) and then spends 2 years as Post-Doctor in NTT (Nippon Telegram & Telecom) in 1988-1990, Tokyo-Japan. From 1989 to 2002 he is researcher à INSERM (French National Institute for Health and Medical research) and obtains a HDR (Habilitation to Supervize Research) in  Medicine in 1999 at Grenoble Faculty of Medicine into which he creates and directs the Microsystems group from 1998 to 2002. Between 1990 and 2002 he conducts many national and international research programs, specially in Japan where he has spent, in total, more than 4 years in several stays (NTT, LIMMS, The University of Tokyo-Faculty of Medicine, the Tokyo Medical&Dental University-dept of neurophysiology & Department of BioEngineering). Winner of the French National Contest for Creation of Innovative companies (with the highest price of 450 k€) he quits his INSERM position  in 2002 and creates Microvitae Technologies.

Pierre Leleux

Researcher

Pierre received his Engineering degree in 2010 from the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Mines de Saint Etienne (MicroElectronics and Computer Science specialized cycle). He works as a research engineer for the company MicroVitae, which specializes in microrlectrodes. His work consists in the design of a new device for the acquisition and analysis of brainstem responses. He is currently a Ph.D. student in the Department of Bioelectronics (BEL) at the Centre Microelectronique de Provence of the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Mines de Saint Etienne and in the Epilepsy and Cognition laboratory, INSERM U751, of the Medical University of Timone in Marseille. His current research focuses on multi-scale acquisition of neuronal responses for epilepsy. He is interested in biologic signal processing, especially in neuronal signal acquisition.

Thomas Double

researcher

Thomas received in 2008 a Licence degree in Animal Physiology from Caen Basse-Normandie University, in France (he was also an exchange student in Millersville University, PA, USA) and in 2010 a Masters degree in Integratives and Cognitives Neuroscience from Aix-Marseille University, in France. He is currently a graduate student in the Department of Bioelectronics (BEL) at the Centre Microélectronique de Provence of the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Mines de Saint Etienne and in the Epilepsie et cognition laboratory, INSERM U 751, of the Medical University of Timone in Marseille, expected to graduate in 2013. He is interested in biology related nano-research, especially in neurons network recording and mapping.
