Thomas Beneyton is a Research Engineer at the Paul Pascal Research Centre (CNRS/University of Bordeaux).

Thomas is a developer of microfluidic technologies and methodologies, which he applies to a wide range of biological problems and issues. Over the past few years, his activities have focused on two main areas: the use of microfluidics for the miniaturisation and automation of single-cell biological assays, where microfluidics enables systems to be instrumented at speeds of analysis unattainable by other technologies; and the use of microfluidics for the assembly of synthetic cells, where microfluidics here enables the fine control of soft matter systems as well as their functionalisation and analysis.

These activities require multidisciplinary skills and cutting-edge expertise in order to obtain reliable and functional systems: With his mastery of a wide range of disciplines, in physics, chemistry, biology and engineering, Thomas effectively contributes to the CRPP’s research projects, both in fundamental research and in projects of practical and industrial interest.

The CNRS cristal rewards his investment and specific contributions to the development of microfluidic technologies.
