BIOGRAPHY

Jean-Claude GERBEDOEN received the PhD degree from the Université des Sciences et Technologies de Lille and Institut d’Electronique, de Microélectronique et de Nanotechnologie (IEMN), in 2009 in Micro and Nanotechnology, Acoustic, Telecommunication in the field of wide bandgap power transistors. Then, he did several post-doctoral fellow in France and at Sherbrooke University (Canada). He worked on different topics as power transistors for hybrid vehicles, UV LEDs for skin treatment, MEMS devices for aerodynamic flow control on vehicle to enhance the aerodynamic drag. From 2016, he worked for SATT NORD in 3-years maturation project concerning the development of acoustic tweezers for alive cells manipulation in microfluidic devices. Since 2019, he joined the SMMIL-E project as clean room manager and he is actively involved in MEMS fabrication for cancer research.

SELECTED ONGOING PROJECTS

  • Distinguishing cancer cells based on their biophysical signatures
    Changes in cell shape and structural integrity affect many biological processes related to cells. Therefore, we can potentially use the biophysical properties of cells to reflect the state of their health. This connection between the biophysics and diseases has been attracting scientific research attention, especially for cancer research, where diseased cells proliferate uncontrollably and disrupt the organization of tissue. Here, we target a reliable and practical high-throughput technique to obtain the biophysical signature of cancer cells. We take two parallel approaches to achieve this goal. We use MEMS grippers (i.e., Silicon NanoTweezers) that provide higher sensitivity to examine different biophysical properties (e.g., size, stiffness, viscosity, and electrical properties). In parallel, we are developing a high-throughput MEMS device optimized according to the SNT results for clinical applications.
