Bruno Le Pioufle

Main research themes

B. Le Pioufle have been working since 1997 on the conception of bio-medical purpose microsystems. His main scientific concerns are 1) the conception of microfluidic biochips for the monitoring of membrane proteins and ion channels and 2) the conception of microfluidic biochips for the cell handling and treatment.

He spent two years from 2005 at University of Tokyo, working in collaboration with S. Takeuchi on the conception of parallelized biochips for the screening on ion channels. He is currently developing this activity within ENS Cachan, developing microfluidic architectures including artificial lipid bilayers for the electrical monitoring of eukaryote or prokaryote ion channels.

Beside this activity, he is also working on biochips for the cell treatment. He is working on cell handling on a chip using dielectrophoresis, cell electropermeabilization on a chip and organ on chip.

B. Le Pioufle is author of more than 70 journal papers, 112 conferences papers and 5 patents.
