Biography
Jean-Michel Monier has worked for 20 years in the field of environmental microbiology. He received his MS in Microbial Ecology and his PhD in Environmental Science from the University of California at Berkeley (USA). His research has focused on different environmental issues, such as soil quality, the development of microbial bio-indicators, horizontal gene transfer, the spread of antibiotic resistance genes, the assessment of bioprocess performance, and the study of microbial biofilms in natural and industrial environments. Jean-Michel joined the Ecole Centrale de Lyon (engineering school in the University of Lyon) in 2006 to develop microbial fuel cell technology for various environmental applications (energy recovery from wastewater, biosensors...). Co-founder of ENOVEO, he joined the company full time in 2012 when he became the head of the development of microbial biosensors for monitoring aquatic environments and the scientific coordination of R&D projects.
