Fabienne BILLIARD – Project Manager in Life Sciences at SATT Lutech

Fabienne graduated with a PhD in Immunology in 2007 at the University Pierre and Marie Curie (now Sorbonne University), in Paris, France. During her PhD she investigated the effect of inflammation on immune tolerance in murine autoimmune models. After a post-doc at the Institute for Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety in the South of Paris, France, she was hired in 2009 as a scientist at Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, NY, USA. There she led several research projects to discover new targets for autoimmunity.

Fabienne had the opportunity to acquire new skills when she got hired, within Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, in the Target Information Group ; her mission was to propose new targets to the Company’s scientists, explore IP Freedom To Operate and Market Access. She got back to France to start her current position at SATT Lutech as a project manager in Life Sciences in 2014. Her mission is to analyze research results coming from academic laboratories in order to bring out the innovative potential ; the IP and market potential are also analyzed with the help of the project team.

When applicable Fabienne put together a proof of concept program, in coordination with the scientific team and with the help of the project team, to acquire new results, build a prototype, clear a legal issue, etc… with the aim of bringing the innovation to a maturity level suitable for market access.
